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.

Personally, I'm in support for defederating. Other than the obvious threat that Facebook's size and history of anticonsumer behavior pose, its also about the type of content it brings.

One of the things I've been liking about lemmy so much is the general positive and welcoming vibe, and the well informed opinions. I have also been enjoying the lack of constant hate and general angriness, staples of any algorithm based social network feed.

The "difficulty" of having to seek out and join a fediverse instance, possibly write a few coherent sentences to join, is just enough to discourage the average Facebook/Instagram user, which I think is a feature. Growing the fediverse is important but growing at any cost I think is a mistake.
