Honestly this is all secondary. I believe the main reason we aren't gonna defederate Threads and other big players when they join AP is that we just can't afford to.
Other way around.
Can we afford to host all the shit they are going to spam out there? The Fediverse already uses a lot of storage space to sync content.

Of course it's a shit product name that uses a generic commonly used term. :/
How can anyone trust Facebook over this? I just don't understand.
Da heck? Do we have a FB shill?
That or a starry-eyed optimist who hasn't heard of XMPP and thinks Mark "they 'trust me', dumb fucks" Zuckerberg is really engaging with ActivityPub on anything resembling a good-faith basis.

LMAO, i didnt knew that its not in the eu already..... Oh wait the data privacy law is something here.
Threads will just straight up kill the fideverse. Ping me in a year or so!
Honestly doubt that threads will kill anything.
I would not take that risk. If it kills it. It happens fast
Well I expected this once I heard he had signed the NDA and already stopped using Mastodon, though I might look for another instance which doesn‘t federate with Meta later on.
Whatever floats their boat I guess, while I appreciate the attempt at an answer of whether they will use EEE, I don‘t think it was a satisfying answer, cause specifically others this happened to before did not end up "the same", but worse, as users abandoned them after the bigger thing started introducing interoperability issues and features which made switching logical.
