Has there been any talk of defederating Meta/Threads? - eviltoast

The Mastodon instances that I’m a member of have all preemptively defederated and I am very supportive. Just occurred to me we could still see the threads folks over here. What do you guys think? How does this instance feel about Meta?

    If they get into the lemmy space, the risk is that we’ll wind up with a bunch of big / important communities hosted on their servers, making it harder down the road to defederate from them. Would be easy for it to snowball into the embrace, extend, exterminate paradigm, in a way much easier than on Mastodon, where nobody can control a hashtag.

      I honestly think the bigger risk is corporate incentivized cultural homogeneity. Kind of like we saw with reddit and all of the astroturfing that goes on over there.
