I've seen that some instances have already done it preemptively.

Yeah I'm assuming they're operating is as-bad of faith as possible myself.

As far as moderating their users, I'm don't necessarily know to what extent you mean. But I would assume that since they're a publicly traded company who wants to foster their relationships with ad providers, that they wouldn't let it devolve into something newsworthy; that's bad for business.

Sorry if I'm repeating myself too much (I mentioned this in another comment below), but if the goal is to grow the non-corporate Fediverse and encourage privacy and self-hosting, I would imagine that the best way to do that is to connect with the corporate Fediverse and proselytize the benefits of moving off of Threads. If we tested the waters and decided it wasn't for us after some interaction, I imagine the non-corporate federation could grow immensely by that point. Whereas if we cut ourselves off now, I fear we will actually drive people to Threads, and make it nearly impossible to convince people to get off of Threads.

For moderating users, I mean all the bullshit conspiracy theories. My dad lives on Facebook and has gone completely off the deep end, we need to start actively fighting against this instead of being tolerant.

If you spend any amount of time in the comment sections on Facebook or Instagram these days it's pretty clear that meta doesn't have the capacity or will to actually moderate. You can report things to them only to get a response a few weeks later that they didn't look into it but also didn't remove the content.
