Are we going to defederate right away, see over time, or stay federated?

I think the main complaint isn't a quality question, it's that most people here don't trust Meta to act in good faith. There's a sense that they'll come in, make the fedivirse as dependent as possible, then pull out. Defederating on principle is more of an independence thing.

I agree with you for the quality thing, I rarely see mastodon here, there's no reason to think we'll be flooded with threads.

Yeah, I assume it’s just the enshitification/embrace-extend-extinguish playbook. Given that FB can decide to rugpull at any time, I don’t know that there’s a timeframe I’d start believing they’d act in good faith. They can just follow the email-playbook to disempower the federated service model.

i am used to this kind of situation, and would be cognizant of any threads-instance reliance my system would start to achieve.

i dont need threads, and i plan on keeping it that way even as i dont block them by default.
