I personally am quite against it. I joined Lemmy to stay away from the toxicity on Meta's platforms. I don't want any corporate bodies on the fediverse either and possibly doing to the fediverse what Google did to XMPP

It honestly annoys me that people are moving to this. Mastodon instances are mostly run by independent nonprofits. Bluesky is at least run by a "public benefit" for profit. But people seem all too willing to move to a site by another big tech company. The only silver lining is that hopefully, I can still follow the people that do use Threads.net on Mastodon/Calckey/whatever which is why I am against complete defederation and only pro-limiting them.

Also, their website is just a bunch of spinning balls, you cannot see posts or do anything besides just watch balls spinning around. Kind of a dealbreaker because I expect more than just spinning balls on my social platforms.
