Fediverse

There needs to be a Mozilla-like foundation that builds a competitive product platform for Fediverse that looks slick, is free of bugs, and matches any additional features that Threads might come up with

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.

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.

Don't use it.

I say we should just let Threads fail through its own doing.

I don't think we should defederate threads. It would only give Meta a walled garden which we will be outside of. Let them embrace us here and encourage everybody to scatter across instances so they can't defederate reasonably

Can Lemmy.world go read-only? I think the biggest threat that can actually be handled is a bunch of shitty Facebook users making shitty, angry comments in lemmy.world threads. letting Threads read and display Lemmy.world content, but not comment would solve this.

There are other important threats from Facebook, but this one can actually be solved.

I am kinda curious to see how federating with it would actually work. I.e. what kind of content would actually end up in my "All" view, the usual facebook trash or actually interesting stuff? And would there maybe be interesting communities on it?
