I’ve seen a lot of discussion about Threads around the fediverse and I believe our main instance community has had a few large discussions about it (here’s a recent one).

I didn’t see an Agora discussion post, so I’m making one.

Can we all discuss our opinions on whether we want this instance to remain federated with Threads or not and share our reasons? I’d appreciate it!

    Interesting article. I understand the concept there, but I still don’t see how defederation solves anything.

    Threads is free to develop proprietary features in their app, whether they participate in the fediverse or not.

    Defederation just prevents the two platforms from communicating. In my view, this hurts Lemmy’s growth far more than it could ever hurt a massive app like Threads. They are way too big to notice or care.
