  • I’m bored right now so I’ll bite. I know arguing with you is bad cuz you shouldn’t do things that make you angry yadda yadda. But I really want to tickle that brain of yours and what goes in it.

    • Why do you think Meta specifically targeted the Fediverse?

    • Given their history with Whatsapp and Instagram, how sure are you that they won’t use EEE to kill the Fediverse?

    • Considering the Fediverse is what people see as an escape to corporate social media, why is it unreasonable for people to be hostile to Meta’s Threads?

    • Why should we give Meta the benefit of the doubt when they’re willing to sell out people’s data even if it means destroying democratic institutions?

    • I saw you mention earlier about lack of moderation. How exactly would federating with an additional 10M Meta Threads user affect moderation or lack thereof?

    • How would the culture of Fediverse affect the sudden flood of Threads users unfamiliar with Fediverse?

    • Do you think Meta created Threads in good faith given the recent events with Twitter?

    Your thoughts on the matter please:

    • Are you for or against federation with Meta?
    • Would your family and friends on Threads affect your decision above?
    • Do you trust Meta?




  • Defederating means not interacting with the crowd Meta brings in. I have a bunch of other reasons but that’s my main one. And before you suggest blocking, you can’t possibly expect me to block all 10M of their users and the domain block is bugged. I know because I tried.

    Besides, this place doesn’t look like much of a barren wasteland since we’re interacting with a bunch of people right now. I don’t mind interacting with only weirdo nerds if they’re nicer people. Quantity doesn’t mean quality after all.

    For the people who want to interact with Threads because of family and friends, they should just make an account there. Just don’t let Meta destroy this small part of the internet.
