I know that many people are concerned about "Threads" privacy policy and are all screaming "WE WILL BLOCK THREADS". I honestly can't see how it's going to gather any personal information since Lemmy, mastodon etc. doesn't collect any information at all. Like, how can you gather information about user, if he doesn't have any information about himself. Sure, Threads will collect info about its users, that's obvious, but I think it's a bad idea to just block it from the start

But making the fediverse invisible to Meta users is exactly how google killed XMPP.

It is literally not though? Google killed other XMPP services despite them working hard towards compatibility with google, not because they closed google off.
