mur, pick a server that doesn't federate with Threads (Meta), I suppose. First one I saw, sorting for English was My-Place.social, "We federate with Threads." https://dir.friendica.social/servers/en
Edit: Fixed link
That link returns a 404.
TY!
Please correct me if I'm wrong or missing something important! I know people have brought up good points in the past about this.
I do not want to touch Facebook with a ten foot pole. Some people are network-effected into using it at least sometimes. Maybe their volunteer group uses it and only it to coordinate, and as I've learned from trying to get people to move off Reddit to the Fediverse, telling the group to move is easier said than done.
I'd imagine things that can talk to Facebook allow them to carry on talking to whoever they need to talk to on Facebook without actually being on Facebook, and while giving support to some type of Facebook competitor that is not quite as corporate.
Of course, there are concerns over things like Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, and if allowing them access to us is just making it easier for that to happen. But I imagine that is the thinking behind why some people do choose to federate.
