Really its just devolving into a fascinating experiment in how much momentum it requires people to leave a platform en masse in 2023.

Well nothing probably. I think Instagram collects as much as threads does. My point was just that if you’re only on lemmy or mastodon or whatever, you won’t have to worry about the data they’re collecting from their own users.

I’ve seen so many people that want to defederate from Threads because they’re scared it will get their personal data somehow. Just goes to show that not a lot of people understand how this technology works yet. The only data threads will see is the stuff you post publicly.
