I've been searching and finding circular logic and corporate level no-speak. Is there an official post clarifying as in YES or NO weather lemmy.world is defederating threads?

I’ve gotten so tired of the non-stop reddit/lemmy/mastodon/threads drama I pulled the plug on all recurring donations for the foreseeable future. Thanks to threads the fedverse is starting the reddit style drama cycles and I’m pretty much over trying to sort through it.

No post has been made. Mastodon’s CEO laid out his stance in the post below and I would hope Lemmy would follow with them.

Lots of echo chambering going on in here about EEE and Meta profiting off of everything. In reality, they can scrape data like anyone else, the profit from such small communities is negligible, and defederating meta would only hurt those that defederated because way more users than people here think will want to see and manage Threads while also not needing a Threads account to avoid the data hell that it is.

What to know about Threads

There’s been a lot of speculation around what Threads will be and what it means for Mastodon. We’ve put together some of the most common questions and our responses based on what was launched today.

@TheBenCrazy I am actually dumb here but feels like your argument is like this :
"The thief can still take your stuffs even if you lock your door, and in fact it would actually be more beneficials if you just welcome the thief with open arm and not lock your door at all."

It's more like locking your door and barring it up really good and making it inconvenient for you to get in or out and makes your place less appealing to others, and at the same time you've got several wide open doors behind you.

Federating from threads accomplishes nothing. It's just echo chamber hysteria. Threads isn't even organized around communities, it's organized around people, by default no Threads users would be in Lemmy communities and we wouldn't see any of their content.
