I have a question for fediverse heads. Threads is federating with a bunch of the fediverse, but a lot more are "oh noes, EEE!!!!!!!?!" and actively blocking it. Which seems counterproductive, and quite a bit scaremongery.

Does anyone have an actual instance where Embrace Extend Extinguish actually worked? I mean, sun sued MS for it over Java and as far as I can tell Java is still doing fine. They wanted to EEE Linux too, back on the day. Again, seems to be doing fine....

@cpw IMO there are some legitimate reasons one might choose not to federate with Meta, but the fear of EEE isn’t anywhere near the top of that list.

@philip facts. IMO social media is by definition pretty open, so the security stuff, I'm ok with. Others might have a different comfort level so they can make their own choices, but EEE is just stupid noise and a kneekerk response.
