It is social media. The information is in the open already. If you are concerned, don't post on a public site.

The concerns were about them seeing your messages. Well, they can scrape or use RSS anyway to get your info. Threads isn't eveb needed for this.

I'm not saying the extra level of concern RE Facebook is _rational_, in this instance, just that it's _there_, and that it shouldn't be surprising it's there, based on Facebook's prior record.

I am very positive about that.

Thr name change didn't do much. They are still colloquially known as Facebook. And meta also this bad vibe because of the failed metaverse.

It is smart they choose IG to use for this. It has a different user base. More around communities and interests, and less toxic?
