Yeah I heard alot of people in the Fediverse saying that Meta Threads should be immediately defederated. But I believe that this is a great chance for the Fediverse to grow as a whole. But I think we should only defederate from them when they actually do something that’s against the Fediverse (like doing the “Embrace / Extend / Extinguish” tactic).

    I don’t see any version of their involvement that ends well. Their entire way of doing things is antithetical to what the fediverse is.

    This is the Embrace phase. They’re doing that tactic. So the time to defederate, presuming we only do so when they do E/E/E, is immediately.

    Boosting because as far as I can tell, this really is an unpopular opinion. Well done, and I completely disagree.

    Then I think it only logical that you leave here and relocate to Threads.

    Paperclip machine gonna paperclip. Threads, as an entity, is just an incidental product. Meta’s sole purpose is to swallow and consume. It’s the same reason why people (generally) don’t keep wolves as pets.

    I agree with you. Defederating would pretty much cut off a lot of potential new users that want to see posts on Threads while also not wanting to have a Meta account and all the issues that come with it. People here need to realize that they are also in an echo chamber. Mastodon and Lemmy needs users and content. Cutting a big portion of that would kill it in the long run. There would be nothing to “extinguish” in the first place.

    Will Threads be connected to the Fediverse?
