They can already harvest the data. Nothing on the ActivityPub is private

Sure, ignore my actual point. This is getting monotonous; enjoy Threads.

What point was that? If you don't join Threads, they don't have your data. They do have everything you publish to the Fediverse though, no matter what you do.

Buddy...

Its about outmaneuvering smaller competitors and controlling the marketplace

Work on your reading retention instead of plastering your one-note hot take all over the convo. This exchange is over.

How? Everyone says some form of this, but never gives any details of how they will do that. Or how defederation will prevent that.

You are afraid that they will control the marketplace, and then turn around telling everyone to defederate, which just gives them a walled garden marketplace on a silver platter.
