What's with all the hate about federating with Threads? I thought people would be happy to hear a big player is coming to the fediverse that's going to bring a bunch of people with it. "Normies" will probably never use Mastodon or Lemmy but might use Threads, so being able to communicate with them while staying on my little community-ran Mastodon instance is a win for the fediverse in my book. And if somebody's annoying or whatever, you can always block them, right? Can somebody clarify why people think everyone should automatically defederate with them and lose such a big userbase? I mean, I hate Facebook/Meta as much as the next guy, but more users are more users...

If I wanted to hear what people who use FB products had to say, I'd be on those platforms

Nobody said anything about FB users. I have seen a bunch of people I follow on Twitter trying to move to Threads. And if I could just completely abandon Twitter and communicate with these people I follow via Mastodon, I'd choose them move there. And nobody's making you talk to them if you don't want to, right? We are talking about ~being able~ to talk to them, not having to.

And I didn't say anything about talking to them
