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!
I agree with Barbarian’s take. Zuck can start an instance and scrape everything on the Fediverse right now. Sure, we could watch for and block any instance coming from Meta. Then Zuck could pay a third party to do it for him.
It’s the old adage, what you post on the internet stays on the internet.
So really, that shouldn’t be a reason to defederate, since it won’t solve the issue of Zuck getting his grubby mitts on our posts and comments.
And besides, he still has the problem of linking that info to a real person.
