Threads will be implementing federation in the near future and many instances have been discussing whether they should be pre-emptively defederated to protect the fediverse. See below for our local discussion thread, which will remain active until this vote is complete.

Given that this is a time-sensitive issue and it’s the holiday season, we decided to initiate the vote a few days early to make sure everyone gets a chance to vote. The vote will be tallied on Friday, December 29th.

    I’ll tell you what, let’s compare the average amount of upvotes and downvotes for those who voted yes and those who voted no …

      We will look into disabling upvotes/downvotes on future [vote] threads because downvoting people for their votes is uncool.

      I noticed that too, but I said this when there were only downvotes on the yes votes. I think it’s all dumb either way though.
