I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.

I am not getting it. If i am not using their threads client and signed in to a de federating instance, they would not get my IP address right?

They wouldn’t be able to get it even from a federated instance as long as you don’t use their frontend.
