Michael Bishop ☕I don't trust Meta on this. They will try to take control of it all.
Fortunately no need to trust anyone. This plan remains my best thinking on how to both welcome the Fediverse to such partners but also protect it. https://www.timothychambers.net/2023/06/23/project-and-the.html
Threads and the Fediverse - A Smarter Battle Plan to Protect the Open Social Web
With the #meta #Project92 or #Threads Fediverse offering, there has been a, well, robust discussion of how to avoid threats looming. Those advocating mass-preemptive defederation make three cases for it. ➡️ To avoid data mining … However, defederation does virtually zero to avoid any big tech entity scraping all the Fediverse public social graph today - Want proof? See here: is.gd/q8U2pv But what if they merge that Fediverse data with their own internal data from IG isn’t that worse than just scraped data?

XMPP didn't die, it just went small again. This is the best we can hope for with the fediverse, should threads succeed with EEE tactics...

I specifically argue in the link in my post the only real defence against EEE.

I agree. For one, the "View On Threads" button in every post suggests they are doing EEE – embrace, extend, extinguish.
This kind of behavior should result in automatic defederation.

@MichaelBishop @tchambers @fediversenews There should not be any aspect of Threads federation that includes any hint or suggestion that the posts are "properly" viewed on Threads.
