there's no way to opt out

Yes there is a way to opt out. Just opt out of Facebook and Meta products all together.

If not everyone using messenger, I would. I'm not using Facebook tho, but it doesn't help much

Just use the Messenger app or messenger.facebook.com then, you won't see Threads promotions nor be exposed to other Facebook stuff
