Tbh I'm seeing a lot of Mastodon instances Admins saying they wont defederate Threads straight away; they want to see what Meta does/demands of all over instances first. The instance I'm part of (Fosstodon) is also doing the "wait and see" tactic.
BUT I strongly suspect most will end up defederating with Threads within a week due to Meta's shit moderation and attempts to bully other, larger instances into giving them privacy info.
Wtf. What possible good thing do they expect to see from meta?
People. Most of the people using Threads are not garbage just because Meta is.
I'll likely be personally blocking the entire instance the day they connect with ActivityPub.
Ehhhhhhhh yeah they can stay over there. Totally free to join us here though, separately, on another account. They are the dark side, with the cookies and all. We have beans. Better nutrition.
I mean Threads isn't even starting in the EU yet, bc they can't comply with the GDPR. Nothing good can come of this.
Guess what? Neither are most people on FB and Twitter, but it's allowing the garbage minority to have free reign that make those platforms unbearable.
I can guarantee that the same will happen with Threads sooner or later since it's the same corporation with the same company-wide priorities that allowed FB to become a breeding ground for fascism.
Facebook was ruined for me when they stopped showing me what my friends were up to, and instead plastered my feed with ads and "popular" posts instead of the things I care about. I haven't logged in for years. I should delete Facebook, but since it isn't on any of my devices they aren't getting anything from me
