"Threads is deepening its ties to the fediverse, also known as the open social web, which powers services like X alternative Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Flipboard and other apps. On Wednesday, Meta announced that users on Threads will be able to see fediverse replies on other posts besides their own. In addition, posts that originated through the Threads API, like those created via third-party apps and scheduling services, will now be syndicated to the fediverse. The latter had previously been announced via an in-app message informing users that API posts would be shared to the fediverse starting on August 28."

@Dirk @xelar thanks for your view, question: defederating with threads seems reasonable, but why would you defederate "second level" like this? I ask as the instance I'm in decided not to defederate with threads for now and I'm personally OK with that.

A is defederated from Threads, but federates with B. And B federates with Threads. Now Meta can cash out on your data via B.

Now Meta can cash out on your data via B.

Everything we're posting is public, anyone can cash in on it regardless of who you defederate.

Everyone can break into my house regardless of having a key or not. I still don't have my key delivered to them.

Everyone can break into the park you visit and talk to people at
