And that is not a mistake or a missing feature in a beta version. People can easily join but they can't leave. Threads can only grow. And the will remain this way until someone wins in court against Meta
It's not a technical split, but an ethicsl split. Until recently the fediverse took pride in the fact that they watched out for eachother. If tgere was an instance that didn't moderate nazis, they defederated or at least muted it. Now, that the instance in question is run by a corporation with a history of bad moderation, desinforamation and hate-speech they get the benefit of doubt, because people think it's cool that an awful guy like Mark Zuckerberg sees a chance of making big money on their hobby. I think Meta joins the Fediverse to attack Twitter. It's a means to end competition. Thus they will not let the rest of the fediverse become competition. "Competition is for losers" -- Peter Thiel
It applies to everything you post. The GDPR is supposed to level the power between you and organisations like Reddit. It give you the power to know what data they have on you, correct and delete it. If they don't let you have this power, you can file a complaint with you data protection office. It doesn't have to be a formal complaint. Just write them a mail with your problem.
When I draw from experience with Meta it will mean harm for the Fediverse. Their moderation will be bad. They won't ban Nazis. Nazis will attact marginalized people in the rest of the Fediverse. So instances will block Threats some won't = The fediverse is split. Zuck wins.

We are so used to the idea that a social media network has to dominate the world - ekse it's a failure. If Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed or your old fishing forum is enjoyed by some people, it's a success.
I think, the Linux ecosystem has changed a lot. There is far more support for it, than it used to have. With more software coming to your computer, it's harder to find out, which programms are trustworthy. I think it's a good idea to put programms into a secure box and only allow access to the system in a controlled way. That is what snap makes possible.
Canonical needed that feature for their business clients and private users benefit from that.
