To serve you relevant ads, Meta will use your activity on Threads and Instagram, the posts you interact with, your email address, and “your activity from off Meta technologies,” according to a support page.

Do I read it right in that they'll try to follow you around Fediverse, aside from monitoring you on every site they already have a nose on?

De-fe-de-rate.

Probably more about their general user tracking than that tbh. Meta has always had profiles for everyone because of Facebook/meta integrations on every website

You not only misinterpreted the description, but then you proposed a measure completely useless to either the real situation or your imagined one.

You did lemmy proud.
