Defederate Threads? Looking for instance user input (wayfarershaven.eu)

You'll probably have heard about Meta's Threads which is a Twitter replacement running on Activity Pub - that means that it can and likely will federate with the rest of the Fediverse.

There are strong feelings about this, from petition: Defederate any instances that federates with threads proactivly , add threads.net on blocklists everywhere., citing the triple E problem. Then there are other opinions where it's worth creating a place for everyone and having access to the Threads content from the Fediverse without using the Threads interface.

My initial thought here is to wait and see. I don't think immediate action is going to matter all that much and defederation literally takes a few clicks. This is a tiny instance and one of its strengths is being able to connect to everyone else.

What are your thoughts?

Personally i came on the fediverse because i don't like other "normal" social media. I like being a little anonymous stranger surrounded by (generaly) polite and nice people. If something alike Twitter merge with all of this, i am definitely out. But everybody his own choice; i wouldn't blame anyone wanting to be connected with Threads. But i fear that Threads just "eat" the fediverse and then we have no choice to live between adds and angry comments everywhere.
