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.

But we’re talking our current problem but instead expanded into a community 80 times the size of the fediverse. That’s a little more hate than we’ve got now, no?

So what do you want exactly? Do you want the fediverse to remain small and irrelevant forever? Or do you want it to grow and become the dominant space with more bad actors but more useful actors as well?

Because you can’t have both, and you will always have more extremists and shitty views with larger groups. I for one think the fediverse is a better implementation of the social tech for pack of a better word, and would prefer its implementation over the closed wall implementation of non fediverse applications.
