Idea of Fediverse is to provide decentralized network of social servers connected to each other. Defederation is an optional feature if some instance would go rogue. For now, connecting with Threads is not against Fediverse, it's the opposite. Connecting with Threads fullfills the idea of Fediverse.
Disagree, federating with meta will kill the fedi. It will put all power in big tech.
Which still doesn't mean fedi should cooperate with meta or any other big tech, I dare to say not even with any company.
This is not cooperation, this is take over by meta. So far I see most fedi users are aganist federation with meta, I'm glad that's the case.
Same story as XMPP
Expecting the kiddies to actually learn from the past is too much. Because human beings in general don't learn well from the past.
Facebook / meta has too much history of abuse. OTOH I don't think it's necessary to fully defederate, but setting a server defaults per-account to filter their instance would reduce their influence and risk of abuse while still allowing people to opt in to connecting to them
