TL;DR: The common view on Meta’s Threads is that it will be either all good or all bad, leading to oversimplified and at the end contra productive propositions like the Fedipact. But in reality, it’s behaviour will most likely change dynamically over time, and therefore, to prevent us getting in a position, in which Threads can actually perform EEE on us, we need to adapt a dynamic strategy as well.

    Realistically it is in Threads best interest to pretend they care about the Fediverse.

    In return the Fediverse should pretend to care about Threads.

    In reality the Fediverse should “steal” Threads users. At some point Threads will do something really stupid (hopefully not immediately) and the Fediverse can go back to ignoring Threads, but having gained a good subset of users.

      Agreed, I think we should very cautiously federate, while keeping in mind that they will inevitably pull the rug.
