@J12t i wasn't suggesting that fedi is worse than threads. i'm saying they're both terrible for this

there are two main ways protesters can be compromised like this:
- server admins (including threads) cooperating with authorities, possibly by supplying personal messages or other activity
- servers themselves being compromised and information exfiltrated which can lead to arrests
- user accounts being compromised, leading to similar consequences

with threads, they're likely to cooperate with authorities, but unlikely to be compromised (hacked)

with fedi, they may or may not cooperate with authorities, but are much more likely to get hacked (fedi sys admins are probably woefully less competent than meta's)

as for users' security, meta/threads probably has stronger protections against suspicious activity

now, if we consider e2ee comms, then server admins cooperating or getting compromised is no big deal, since the comms are encrypted. if we consider p2p, there's no server/admin whatsoever
