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.
That is naive look on it. Meta(Facebook) is a company, it’s always company interest and only company interest. The idea of fediverse is to stay out of data tracking, user profiling, not to help it in any way. Connecting with meta is workoing aginst fediverse. It might be a mistake fediverse never recovers from, even now it’s really small fedi community.
Why would we as fedi users, mods and admins help meta or any other company, for what, for their interest that they sell on “we love fediverse”, “cusotmer first” bla bla bla.

Disagree, federating with meta will kill the fedi. It will put all power in big tech.

How it will kill Fedi? Many people here are against big corporations so they will never quit Lemmy instance to move to Threads. But connecting to Threads will bring many new users. We can teach them the great power of Fediverse. We can communicate with each other despite having data on separate servers and anybody can choose an instance that is closer to their beliefs and opinions.

Same how google killed xmpp, how big tech killed email. Meta and big tech are just too powerful and they can destroy, takeover fedi with resources they have.

Which still doesn’t mean fedi should cooperate with meta or any other big tech, I dare to say not even with any company.

Imaging for a moment all non-company-mail-servers would block all company-mail-servers (like gmail). Would that be a good idea?
glukoza@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 months ago
Yes, that would be a great idea because it would free the email protocol taken over by all big tech.

The more I think about it, you’re right. Having email in the hands of a few for-profit tech giants has really damaged the entire concept of email. Every day, I see comments about people whose unique email servers are automatically filtered by Google and Microsoft’s platforms. It would be massively beneficial to block all the big companies and have a healthier ecosystem like we have here in the fediverse.

Your argument is inherently flawed and both of confident ignorance. You can do better.

This isn’t email. Email wasn’t built purposefully able to block entire instances of email. Terrible comparison
