With threads coming to the Fidiverse, I feel dirty and violated. I don't care about my posts being accessible from various instances, but I fucking don't want meta to use what I write, from my username to my subbed communites and such.

I leave in Europe where the app is not allowed right now. How can I protect myself from meta ?

Unless i misunderstood, I believe the point of this post wasn't talking about defederating, it is asking about protecting the users data from Meta if federation happen, and for that point it is what I said, his data is as protected as before, federated or not, Meta won't get access to any extra data from being federated than it already has access to now.

Defederating is another entire discussion that is really up to the instance admin, self hosting is the only way to really guarantee anything if you want that much deep control of your data and fediverse experience.
