I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.

That's the thing, though, you can't just quote-unquote "scrape activity pub."

You have to pick every single instance. Believe it or not, not all data is just on every single instance. It's usually cached by users connecting with different instances.

Right and if FB wanted to do that it would be well within their capabilities, wouldn't it?

When does the Threads federation begin? I've not yet seen a single message from a Threads user so I imagine this hasn't yet started.
