I’ve seen a lot of comments suggesting Threads should be pre-emptively defederated by Lemmy/kbin instances if it tries to join us. I’m a bit confused what the problem would be. When Meta does its usual corporate bullshit over at Threads, how would that hurt a user or community based on Lemmy.world? If anything, wouldn’t it give the fediverse a boost if Threads users start discovering communities outside of Meta’s control?
I presume I’m missing something, as you can probably tell I don’t fully understand how Lemmy, Threads or federation all work.

Im a reddit refugee too, but the general shithead redditor attitude is absent here
As the community grows big corps are going to want to tap into that growth and those ad watching eyeballs, regardless if that growth is from the reddit exodus or was independent steady growth.
And with the fediverse being more decentralized and feder it does give instances a bit more power to cut off corporate bad actors from what they want, established communities with advertiser ready eyeballs.
