FlaxI don’t think we should defederate threads. It would only give Meta a walled garden which we will be outside of. Let them embrace us here and encourage everybody to scatter across instances so they can’t defederate reasonably
fetchezlavacheThat actually sounds like a good idea. Are there any drawbacks to this that we’re missing though?
The drawbacks is that we aren’t showing mastodon as an alternative. If we defederate we cannot tell people it’s “threads without the ads”. I know people talk about Embrace, Extend, Extinguish with Google, but Meta have been rather keen on decentralisation recently, even claiming that they want their “Metaverse” platform to be decentralised
