First of all, a big thank you to @ruud@lemmy.world and team for building such a good place for us to hang out. You guys rock!

I am interested to see your opinion on the recently launched Threads from meta, specially around possible federation/defederation in the future

Some instance owners are open to federation, some takes wait and see approach, while some will block them outright as seen on https://fedipact.online/

I think if we federate with Facebook, it will be good for a while. they will play nice while they grow their userbase. but as soon as they have a majorety of users, they will start pushing updates that make facebooks instance(s) incomparable with other regular instances and since most users will be on Facebook, the rest of Lemmy and the fediverse will die. this type of thing has happened before and if we allow it to, it will happen again. we cannot federate with corporations

They’ve had so many sign ups already the instant they start federating they will have the majority of users. There’s no way it ends well unless we block them

Indeed. All would instantly turn into only Threads content through sheer volume of engagement and comment sections would flood with Meta users.
