A lot of people dislike it for the privacy nightmare that it is and feel the threat of an EEE attack. This will also probably not be the last time that a big corporation will insert itself in the Fediverse.

However, people also say that it will help get ActivityPub and the Fediverse go more mainstream and say that corporations don’t have that much influence on the Fediverse since people are in control of their own servers.

What a lot of posts have in common is that they want some kind of action to be taken, whether it’d be mass defederating from Threads, or accept them in some way that does not harm the Fediverse as much.

What actions can we take to deal with Threads?

    During the short time Google also acquired users, who moved from other XMPP software because…well, the software was more integrated with other stuff. So when you then defederate, the rest is left with less users and a terrible experience.

    Google did the same with Chrome and the web standards too. Look at the browser competition nowadays…
