Unless i misunderstood, I believe the point of this post wasn’t talking about defederating, it is asking about protecting the users data from Meta if federation happen, and for that point it is what I said, his data is as protected as before, federated or not, Meta won’t get access to any extra data from being federated than it already has access to now.
Defederating is another entire discussion that is really up to the instance admin, self hosting is the only way to really guarantee anything if you want that much deep control of your data and fediverse experience.


This method is a little bit different than what I use, this one folds the corner in before rolling down the bag, What I do, even in my chips bag, I roll it down, then fold the corners in, then roll it out once over the folded corners. Maybe that would be easier for you to do to this kind of bags?
