Ip address is only sent to a users home server though.
I wouldn't put it past them to put tracking images into posts though. Either way... I wouldn't be happy on a server that is connected to threads.
Speaking of which... I see lemmy world see still hasn't defederated from Threads. I guess it's time for me to kill my account here.
I might end up using a personal instance as well. But in that case I'll probably end up with an instance whitelist, rather than defederating from disliked ones.
Ah, bummer. I thought I'd be in the clear because we're having this conversation on Lemmy.ml. Thanks for straightening me out.
Does that mean that the only way of stopping my data from reaching Threads would be for them to defederate from my instance?
