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.

If we do this, we could also harm the reputation of ActivityPub and the fediverse overall. Terrible instances would federate with them, while the good ones defederate. If that happens, people would think only those people are on a defederated network.

You think this would harm the instance more than federating with antivaxxer conspiracy theorists? We don't need that kind of hateful content here, and Meta would absolutely bring it with them. Hostile political stuff about trans hate, anti abortion rubbish, we don't need that. Meta would also massively outnumber everything else so that kind of content would end up flooding every aspect of the fediverse if allowed. Not to mention the privacy concerns.

Both sides are terrible and it is hard to decide at the end because of that
