People complain on #threads that by federating, they have no control over where their posts go. That this can be dangerous. I guess with full federation, you can control who follows you using the protocol. That's nice.

But on most social networks, your posts are public. Even if people need to be logged in to see it, any user of that service can copy your posts anywhere else they want to. Bots can scrape them. Welcome to blogs and RSS.

Very few have thought at all about what microblogging is.
