A lot of people dislike it for the privacy nightmare that it is and feel the threat of an EEE attack. This will also probably not be the last time that a big corporation will insert itself in the Fediverse.

However, people also say that it will help get ActivityPub and the Fediverse go more mainstream and say that corporations don't have that much influence on the Fediverse since people are in control of their own servers.

What a lot of posts have in common is that they want some kind of action to be taken, whether it'd be mass defederating from Threads, or accept them in some way that does not harm the Fediverse as much.

What actions can we take to deal with Threads?

You don't need to get consensus though. The Fediverse isn't a monolith and you can change servers if you feel the one you're on isn't working for you anymore.

Yep. As the old saying goes: Divided we stand, united we fall.

No, wait...

What is the point of using something that's federated if we all have to do things the same way? Sounds like you just want a centralized site where you get to make the rules.

Well we they could just be centralized in their own decentralized instance lol
