Comment on Please defederate from threads.net

Decentralization may be its biggest weakness. It requires too much overhead.
What happens when 100’s of instances are stood up for the purpose of fragmenting or taking over? Or META just starts buying federated instances? The burden will fall on each individual instance owner to try and keep up. Ain’t happening.
Wtf are you talking about? Decentralization is the one thing that separates it from existing social networks. It’s the entire point of this whole endeavour. It’s even what happens in your failure scenarios, because the problem with taking over everything is centralization.

Instances like Lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are a big threat to decentralisation, however threads would be at a whole new level
