    Am I the only one who’s confused why it’s such a bad thing for Threads to federate?

    It’s just essentially be a really big instance. People can turn it off or go to instances that defederate from threads if they hate it.

    My potentially controversial (at least here) take is that the Fediverse needs a few mainstream players like Threads to flourish long-term. It’ll be some serious mainstream attention on what federated services offer, and also a shallow end of the pool that normal people can start their Fediverse journey in

      @SneakyWaffles @jkure2 let them federate. I have nothing against that because it doesn’t take away the possibility to block them either on a federal level or to an individual level. If you don’t wanna see Thread’s content you can opt out at any time.

      I like how versatile the fediverse is and I welcome other platforms.
