We have interoperability for emails but most people use gmail/microsoft , so you could be tracked even if you use protonmail

Not if I'm talking to someone on Protonmail, Tutanota, etc.

Now would you prefer to have the possibility to talk privately at least to someone, even if just a handful of people, or be forced to never talk privately because you must use gmail to talk to anyone else?

Yes, but like I said, most people won't be on those services so they will be able to collect most of your data anyways.

Here at least on Lemmy is even worse, because they can get everyone's data even if you never access theirs instance or they could simply create a shadow one to get the data without anyone noticing

It's not clear, are you saying that since they would get most of my data (which is an already flawed argument since for example now I have my partner, best friends and family on Signal which are 95% of my conversations, as opposed to 5% of people whom I talk to on Whatsapp) I should give them all of it?

The second point doesn't even require to have Threads, they could already do that, now what?
