Pros and cons of federating with threads? (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I saw in the posts recently how Metas thread grew rapidly in a span of just a day. I understand that since threads posts a privacy nightmare (no surprises there) I’m leaning towards de-federating with them.

But I am also cautiously excited about the massive amount of content if we federated instead.

So for purposes of discussion, may I know the pros and cons of federating with threads?

Anyone that's upset that there's not enough people here wouldn't be able to complain about that anymore,

They will however have all the new people to complain about.

Early adopters that are willing to overcome a small challenge and will work too fill out the empty communities are great friends.

The onslot from Instagram is going to look a lot more like zombies.
