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.

I’m in favor of not defederating. Corporations connecting to the Fediverse is inevitable as it grows. It’s not a bad thing.

On our own instance, we are free from the ads and dark engagement patterns of corporate social media, whatever they do.

The only reason not to federate would be to avoid having Threads overwhelm the culture of the existing Fediverse. Personally, I don’t mind that so much. Again, as we grow, this is inevitable.

I care a lot about the technology of ActivityPub and federation winning out, and I think staying federated with Threads for now is the right call to enable that.
