Firstly a disclaimer, I dislike Facebook for many reasons and would prefer it if the company went bankrupt and shut down. But as that's not going to happen and there's an estimated 17.7 million Facebook users in Australia (almost 2/3 of the population) we have to deal with that.
Thank you - I didn't appreciate that Facebook was still so prevalent. I don't have an account there, and I don't plan to obtain one at this point, unless there's a good professional reason. Threads federates with ActivityPub, so you may be able to post to that from a Mastodon, Pleroma or GoToSocial instance without having an account. As I understand it, though, Threads is entirely separate from Facebook, though owned by the same company.
