Sounds reasonable to me.
Do you think there will be any issues with this instance being federated with threads? It doesn’t seem like the admins of lemmy.world are going to cut them off.
I am of two minds when it comes to defederating with them (and other large corpo platforms).
On one hand, I want the biggest, most open communications platform I can get. On the other, I do know that the tactics used by these companies start with embracing the innovation and then smothering it with standards and limitations until it can no longer survive.
What are your thoughts on the matter?
I’m pretty wary of the EEE technique myself, I would prefer to defederate with them from the get go. But I don’t know how it’s going to all shake out ofc, or if defederating would even prevent anything. I am wary of the advertising bot swarm and increased astroturfing bs it will presumably bring as well, but hopefully the admins here are prepared to step in if it does become an issue.
I am slightly more inclined to ride it out and try to grow the community, and if it gets too polluted then I will release it into the wild or someone’s willing hands and head to another instance. But it’s not like the community has a ton of momentum yet, so if there were a time to move, it would be now… idk
Is there an instance that you feel has more sane defaults and that you think would be better for such a community to grow on?
I would have to look into them and their policies more closely, but at a glance, lemm.ee is one contender. I am ofc open to suggestions (always).
