The fediverse is discussing if we should defederate from Meta’s new Threads app. Here’s why I probably won’t (for now).

(Federation between plume and my lemmy instance doesn’t work correctly at the moment, otherwise I would have made this a proper crosspost)

    A valid point was made here that we should probably have a small section of the Fediverse federated with Meta as a way to access Threads without leaving the safety of the Fediverse.

    But the rest should defederate. We must protect what we fought hard to gain.

      No is not. Just do another account and join Therad. They are the “good guys” right? So I’m sure they will allow third app access to their contents, if not just download ther app as any other social.

      But that choice should be up to instance owners and people shouldn’t pressure them either way. It’s their instance, after all, not yours.
