@eris Agreed honestly. That should be a big piece of the conversation. Many instances are not in the business of selling advertising spots or data and many users wouldn't realistically consent to "Threads" doing it. If instance users suddenly found out their data was being sold by an external party, they'd move to an instance that blocked "Threads". Moreover, it'd put instance owners directly at legal risks for issues Meta is causing.

In other words, Meta's business model does not and WILL NEVER be compatible with the Fediverse.
