I anticipate that we’ll soon need to determine whether federating with threads aligns with the needs of our little instance.

From my perspective, I’ve yet to encounter a persuasive argument against doing so, particularly considering the straightforward process of defederation.

But I’m open to being educated on this matter.

    The practice of “embrace, extend, extinguish” comes to mind with this. If Lemmy becomes 90% Threads then Meta can make huge changes to the platform. This would be a bad outcome.

    I do like the idea of companies being able to host their own instance and join Lemmy, but I can’t imagine that going well until Lemmy is already strong on its own.

    I’m happy to be defederated with them, but I also have my (pure speculation-based) doubts about the platform lasting long enough to make a difference.
