How likely is a federated threads going to be used to harvest data for whatever advertising or AI purpose meta has?

Aside from ensuring their launch product has immediate content, the only reason meta would do this is for that $$.

That said, it could be a symbiotic relationship with instances who's users aren't super worried about that & find value from the addtl content it will surely bring.

Is there a way to block meta in lemmy? Im in the lemmy.world instance, or is it up to the developers and maintainers of each lemmy instance?

The maintainers of the instance can defederate, or you can block in your settings, but that’s only a personal level. I’m not sure the community name to block though
