How do we feel about federating with Threads?

ThatOneKirbyMain2568@kbin.social to Moving to: m/AskMbin!@kbin.social – 19 points –

Threads seems to be beginning to test ActivityPub federation, and since Kbin can be used for microblogging, this affects kbin.social. What are your thoughts on federating or defederating with them?

No. Fuck Facebook, and fuck Zuck. There isn't a world in which they would federate and respect our privacy.

See how they build internal user profiles for users not on Facebook through tags and other metadata scraping techniques. If people you know talk about you on Facebook, there's a shadow profile about you out there, waiting to connect with you in real time. I have no reason to think they wouldn't do the same kind of shit here.

you cant post publicly over time and expect anonymity. no one can.

you are easily discernible by a number of features if someone really wanted to track you down, so this idea that using a public forum has an expectation of privacy is confusing me.
