No Mark. Let's not. #fediblock
You know, it is a good thing, that Meta is creating an ActivityPub/Fediverse compatible social media system with Threads because it instantly legitimizes the protocol. That said, it could be argued Microsoft did the same for HTML/HTTP when it built a web browser in the 1990s, but I still managed to avoid using Internet Explorer except when absolutely necessary over most of the past 30 years. The important thing is the underlying open system and freedom to choose.

This is an excellent point.

Yes - good - legitimize the protocol. Excellent.

And - fortunately - the rest of the ActivityPub ecosystem is pretty mature by this point, and those of us who are on instances that want to have nothing to do with Fark Muckerberg already have the tools to stem the tide of sewage which inevitably cometh whence.

@kelvin0mql exactly. And in this nascent moment when the Fediverse is so small having Threads around will feel like there is a bull in our china shop. Other servers and services big and small will come and go but as long as the protocol survives and is improved then we will have gotten to a new, better, place.
