You shouldn't automatically trust open source code just because its open source. There have been cases where something on github contains actual malicious code, but those are typically not very well known or don't have very many eyes on it.

But Lemmy isn't activitypub? Unless threads opens up to lemmys protocol it wouldn't be able to see anything anyway... Right?
