Meta just showed off Threads’ fediverse integration for the very first time - Lemmy.zip

I don’t mind the threads integration much actually.

Yeah I don’t understand the issue.

People want the fediverse to grow, so FB entering it is a good thing no? Otherwise realistically the fediverse will likely stagnate and always just take up a tiny bit of space.

The more people involved the better. Sometimes I feel this group just wants to shoot themselves in the foot.

I DON’T want the fediverse to grow if that growth is full of extremists, hate groups, porn bots, etc.

But the fediverse already has that lol. I’ve had arguments here with extremists many times.

You won’t just magically cure it by stopping FB from federating.

Meh. Tankies>fascists
You’ll have both though in the fediverse… So it’s pretty irrelevant. Just because you don’t see them doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
Outside of the odd troll here and there, fascism isn’t a huge problem (at least on lemmy). Exploding heads died in like a week and you haven’t really seen any popular resurgence of far right politics here since. Can’t speak for the rest of the fediverse but lemmy seems to have carved out a semi-comfy niche for itself

I haven’t seen far rights here myself, but it’s a self selecting bias.

I’ve definitely come across more far lefts here which are equally as bad as far right imo.

I’m always concerned if there is only one strong group representation like that though. I’d rather have no extremists obviously, but if we have one side at least allow the other, otherwise that sort of crap starts seeping elsewhere.
