Even though Threads isn't federated yet, you can find any user's public messages via https://threads.net/@username https://threads.net/@username (which is identical to the scheme Mastodon and other fediverse sites use). Anyone's public postings can be found in the same way, and defederation doesn't prevent it. There is nothing to stop the Meta folks from looking at https://sfba.social/@not2b https://sfba.social/@not2b even if our admin blocks threads.net. Mastodon and the fediverse explicitly offer public posts to everyone. Some sites use robots.txt to block search engines and web crawlers that follow the conventions. Others don't.
