This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Meta is moving forward with their plans for Theads and the Fediverse, and their adjusted terms reflect a new impending reality for Fediverse users.

No, defederating also blocks you from seeing the comments and posts of users of those instances, no matter where the communities are. That is literally the only reason for my 2 defederated instances so far (hexbear and lemmygrad) because I got sick of all the fascist comments.
Does that mean that the only way of stopping my data from reaching Threads would be for them to defederate from my instance?
No, if you defederate from them, all connections to them are blocked. But federated data is public, if they wanted it, they could just grab it via the API.
