Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads (lemmy.world)

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.

If your instance is federated it doesn't matter how "locked down" your instance is it's pushing data out of the walled garden lol

And that's ignoring the fact you can just create an account on the target instance then hit the instance's API
