If this is the case, I urge EVERY instance admin across all currently federated apps to blacklist threads.
If threads is allowed to federate with these apps, it will outweigh all contributions to these apps, and when Meta eventually defederates (which they will), the vast majority of the community will be lost.
PLEASE HEED THIS WARNING!
You didn’t mention your knowledge of how Google killed the federated software xmpp in your comment. As such, I think you should read one of the articles about how to kill the fediverse before you say “let’s be optimistic about how zuck treats his competition so they can continue to operate adjacently”
I actually read that article you’re thinking about right after posting this comment, and I have to say it was pretty compelling. I’d say we still don’t know Meta’s intentions so it’s all just guessing (reminder that Google built GMail and yet email is still around), but I definitely understand better the caution now.
