[Vote] Should we pre-emptively defederate Threads?
[Vote] Should we pre-emptively defederate Threads?
Threads will be implementing federation in the near future and many instances have been discussing whether they should be pre-emptively defederated to protect the fediverse. See below for our local discussion thread, which will remain active until this vote is complete.
Given that this is a time-sensitive issue and it's the holiday season, we decided to initiate the vote a few days early to make sure everyone gets a chance to vote. The vote will be tallied on Friday, December 29th.

The opportunity to grow the fediverse quickly is enticing, but I think the risks of "embrace, extend, extinguish" are ultimately too high to federate until we have more info.

While the idea of a larger central instance for all the normies that don't understand the fediverse sounds pretty neat, I don't think corporations belong on the internet. Also, I don't know anyone who actually uses threads over something like mastodon or even bluesky.

In the end it doesn't really matter? I suppose I can still send people links to things here regardless if I want them to see it, they'd just be unable to interact with it from a threads account.

No, I don't see the fear mongering about threads taking over the fediverse make any logical sense.
There's a lot of "don't let them take over another social media!" but unless I'm mistaken, theres a large difference between how federation works and how literally using Facebooks own website, or X or reddit or whatever other centralized social media site.
