There are basically two irreconcilable camps in the Threads debate here.

- Camp 1, understandably, wants nothing to do with Meta and view them as an existential threat to the Fediverse for plenty of well-precedented reasons.

- Camp 2, also understandably, sees potential in connecting a managed platform that appeals to entities like news outlets and other services to the Fediverse, enabling us to access that information
without requiring an account on a Meta-owned platform.

Camp 1 will not cede ground because they view the issue as existential.

Camp 2 will, I dunno, deal with it or move to a server where they can see what they want to see?

But given the scale of Threads already, widespread blocking of it will create a pretty noticeably weird gap in the federation graph, and make onboarding for new potential Fedi users even more confusing. That part, by itself, kinda sucks.
@mttaggart Have you ever talked to people who belong to Camp 1 and are victims of Meta and tried to understand their reasons?

I can understand them very well.
Not taking these fears seriously makes them repeated victims of Zuckerberg.

Who am I to push these groups off the cliff again
@crossgolf_rebel I believe this post made quite clear that I do understand their reasons, and even agree with them.
