Threads and the Fediverse | Kev Quirk - eviltoast

Here’s a very different take on Threads by a Fosstodon admin.

    “spammy/toxic instances” - Meta are a toxic company. They literally have blood on their hands.
    “too liberal with defederation” - we’re talking about one body specifically; Threads. Nothing else.

    As to whether it should be done at an admin or individual level, I have no idea. But they’re an unethical company and people less privileged than you and I have died while they profit from it. That alone is enough reason for anyone with empathy IMO.

      Sure they are unethical. But the millions of users who have joined them are not and they are not that tech savvy to have even heard of Fediverse. Federating with them opens 2 avenues: Possibly decrease the influence of X/Twitter as it gets more toxic and introduce general people to the concept of Fediverse and give them an option to easily migrate to one of the better Mastodon instances in future from Threads.
