Found this post super informative as it relates to Mastodon, and thought Lemmy might also benefit from this perspective. I'm not sure I share his optimism, but his points seem sound to dampen some of the alarm bells over Meta joining the Fediverse.

So, basically just don't use their app and you're fine. They're just another server that you can join and leave whenever you wanted. They have no authority outside of their own server. They can't show ads and they can't follow people and collect their data outside of their server. Threads is just an app for their server. Cool, they can eat a bag of dicks then.
