Fediverse

I run my own instance and am defederating immediately (whenever they start federating). I did also join the pact.

I acknowledge there's potential for a positive impact here, so I will give them a chance.

Given that everything right now is just speculation - I say sit tight, observe what actually happens and respond appropriately if it does start to go wrong. Defederation is very easy, we can do it when we need to

Threads is exactly showing the biggest problem with anything Fediverse. It's simpler for the user so it will be accepted. The amount of people I've already seen join is huge compared to mastodon.

Same thing we do about reddit. They are free to do their own thing in their own corner as long as they don't bring us into it.

I think defederation isn't the solution. Am I dumb in thinking this could actual have a mutual benefit?

Just an example: I will never use Threads, but if I can communicate with them from my Mastodon account, I would like to have that option.
