Give or take how much time do you guys think until Meta or any other big corp starts scraping and selling data from the Fediverse?

Last I checked, they already are.

It is, they seem dead set on enshitification. Though, based on the past corporate attempts dealing with piracy, there’s a good chance it won’t stick.

I thought that was the whole point of Threads.net. I still don't understand why lemmyWorld hasn't blocked them.

I'd be surprised if they aren't already. Facebook is already implementing ActivityPub in Threads.
