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.
I think what some are saying about triple E may make sense, but closing the door is not a solution, the fedivers will grow and that will attract companies, they can be large and obvious as Meta, or they can grow within the fedivers, but they will arrive and try to take over the place, because that is what companies do. If our system is not strong enough to resist this when the company is as obvious as this, what will we do when a new google '05 is born? It’s a challenge, but one you have to go through
