Will this instance defederate from Facebook's "threads"? (self.home)

Personally I think Facebook should face as much pushback as possible, unless we want them to do to this what Google did to XMPP.

Is there a ELI5 for this? I'm not sure I understand enough to have an opinion on this :D

I get conceptually what defederation would mean (I think), but what effect would that have on Facebook? Less activity on their end making their product less succesful?

It's more about protecting the fediverse.

If we don't defederate, Facebook becomes the biggest instance and can throw it's weight around, basically.

I see, yeah let's not have that happen.
