Defederating from Threads - Any objections?

The current plan is to entirely defederate from Meta’s Threads.

Does anyone on eviltoast.org (or anyone who uses it for browsing) have any objections to defederating from Threads?

A few of the reasons to defederate:

Exponentially more users compared to the current lemmyverse
Expected reduction in quality of content, but dramatic increase in quantity
Federation Traffic from Threads may overwhelm smaller instances, including ours
Lemmy still has a lack of good mod tools
Future possibility of “Embrace, extend, and extinguish” whether intentional or not
Many people view lemmy and other federated platforms as a way to get away from giant coorporations

IMO the biggest reason to defederate is the amount of users and content that will be added to the network, I don’t think Lemmy/Mastodon/etc as a whole is prepared for that yet.

Edit 2023-12-22: threads.net is now on the blocked list. Please do leave a comment if you disagree with this decision!
