Do we really want Facebook users just for the growth? Quality beats quantity.
Give them a taste and then defederate...
The good thing about the fediverse is that instances can choose with whom they want to federate.
In my opinion, there should always be choice and people with terrible opinions should be allowed to express them – just like others should be allowed to laugh, ignore and block them. Whether we like it or not, the fediverse includes everything from left-wing to right-wing extremists. But we can choose an instance which excludes all those unwanted posts, just like we'll be able to block surveillance corporate instances.
bigotry isn't only difference of opinion
Ultimately I think I'll end up running two accounts
I respect if my Mastodon instance decides to defederate because of a legitimate threat from Facebook, given the company's consistently awful history.
There will also be some good people worth following who want to use FB's Threads for whatever reason. If I need to, I can use some special frontend or web browser version to read the content.
So whether we stay federated or not, at the end of the day it'll be ok as far as being able to see things from the people I care about.
In the meantime, I'm going to bring as many people over to the real Fediverse before people get settled into one or the other
Seriously, how does that dude manage to look so inhuman? He looks like someone pretending to be human and trying really hard, but missing that one last bit.
The trick is to always be faking empathy.
And I would assume he chose that picture too. It's not as bad at full size, at least he has some color to his skin and doesn't look like an alien methhead as much.
Nope. Please fuck off, thank you.
So the hate for this is now gone and replaced with praise? What happened to all the posts about how this is an attack on TNT frediverse when Meta first announced this integration?
My stance is still a hard fuck no to Threads entering the fediverse.
Edit: My reasoning can be read in my old comment here. It's all still applicable in regard to meta/Threads federating.
There's no logical reason to give them the benefit of the doubt or have unrealistically positive expectations given their overwhelmingly consistent track record.
Oh there's hate, there are a lot of unreasonably, pro-threads upvotes and comments making the rounds.
That's OP's opinion and some users here, but I don't praise it and I don't think it will be good for fediverse in the future. People will start using Threads app since they can interact with other fediverse instance. And there will be more drama and more toxic content just like on fb, twitter, tiktok and ig.
This is even more concerning
I will consider to stop using lemmy..
already defederated
Threads is making its first moves to EEE the Fediverse.
What does this mean?
Someone did a breakdown here, I still think it's a great idea to defed from them immediately.

Fuck off. Defederate these guys.
And just remember that a substantial amount of Lemmy users want this, because they are too blind, childish and immature to see the very real negative consequences such a move will have.
But they only care because they're either bots or hopelessly stupid simps.
Lmao.
I dislike how the comment section is full of people hating on Mastodon people
They will be able to dictate how mastodon works of they become larger than the rest of the instances. Their stake in the network will make them more powerful than all the other instances combined.
So seeing as the name is still threads does that mean he won the lawsuit someone filed against them to change the name as someone else already had that name for their product/company?
Like rules only exist if you're not a billionaire I guess...
I will delete my account.
