I don’t want the fediverse to be fragmented and Balkanized. Federate with everyone unless it’s a kiddy porn ring.
Give threads a chance. You can revisit if it turns out problematic
Give the untrustworthy a chance again. Should be fun til they steal all your data to turn much profit, push more ads than taco bell and push your ass to the bottom of the pool, unless you play to their algorithmic beat. I am so in!
You can give them all the chance you want by making an account over there personally without having to inflict that content on the rest of us.
That exact argument works for most communities to defederate from. "Federate with everyone unless I take issue with the community or how it's run".
Plenty of other communities will federate with Threads, I don't have any problem with lemmy.ml opting out.
We'll get to see if defederating with Threads makes post and discussion quality higher than in communities federated with Threads, or if it only stunts the growth of this instance.
