What should we do about Threads? (programming.dev)

A lot of people dislike it for the privacy nightmare that it is and feel the threat of an EEE attack. This will also probably not be the last time that a big corporation will insert itself in the Fediverse.

However, people also say that it will help get ActivityPub and the Fediverse go more mainstream and say that corporations don't have that much influence on the Fediverse since people are in control of their own servers.

What a lot of posts have in common is that they want some kind of action to be taken, whether it'd be mass defederating from Threads, or accept them in some way that does not harm the Fediverse as much.

What actions can we take to deal with Threads?

There needs to be a Mozilla-like foundation that builds a competitive product platform for Fediverse that looks slick, is free of bugs, and matches any additional features that Threads might come up with

Wikipedia had that insanely named Wikitribune that has now turned into Trust Cafe which is a better name with an awful site name. https://wts2.wt.social/en/auth

The Wikipedia foundation could be a good player in the fediverse, but they don't seem too proactive in integrating with us right now.

Yeah, they would be great here but I think they would want more control and is why they have their own. I'm sure they've gone through the mistake grinder and have a lot of knowledge that would be ignored here.
