As you've probably heard, Threads (a fairly new social network from Facebook's parent company Meta) is testing integration with the fediverse. Depending on how you look at it, it's a great opportunity, a huge threat, or both!

Back in May and June, when Threads' first announced their plans, there were quite a few polls on Mastodon about people's reactions, most showing opinions split roughly equally. How do people feel today?

Meta are war criminals. Period.

If you support Meta attaching to the fediverse, you are welcoming war criminals and their quislings to becoming part of the fediverse.

I sincerely hope most of us in the fediverse are better than that or I'm going to have to search for a new social media home.

Meta has been a willing tool for enabling war crimes, genocide, political manipulation/propaganda, and brutal authoritarianism all across the globe.
