    At least when its federated, you can still communicate with your friends who have Threads, without you having to deal with how invasive Meta is.

      Possibly. Apparently there are some possible issues with interconnection between instance admins that would give Threads information your local instance has about you. I understand that there are ways to change the code so that doesn’t happen, but as of right now, there’s more risk of data transfer than just posts/comments.

      …Wayyyyy less than if you actually install their app, of course. But there’s room for improvement.
