@feditips defederating threads likely doesn't hurt meta. Federating threads likely doesn't grant them access to data they can't already get.

It only hurts users who aren't as technically savvy as us (so aren't aware of non-meta alternatives), and the folks who want to talk with those people.

I want people to abandon threads, but I can't expect normies to understand the problem and migrate to standard mastodon servers. I think normies are an important part of a healthy social network.
