Are we going to block Meta's Threads.net? I get it if people want to keep things open. However, Meta is a proven bad actor. They claim they didn't put in ActivityPub because it was too complicated to get it done at launch, and they can't get EU approval of their service because of the rampant and invasive data they gather. IMHO, they are going to attempt to muscle the fediverse out of the equation.

I feel like if you want to update your friends, an anonymous forum is not the greatest place to do that and I certainly don't want the fediverse to be about attaching your name to something.

Personally, I've never had a Facebook account and have no interest in their offerings. Nothing of worth seems to have ever come out of that place.
