I’d personally at least give them a chance. Defederating is a pretty easy process and can be performed at any point in time. At least some Threads users may as well get to know about Lemmy and switch to it.

Meta has had plenty of chances in the past as a massive leader in the social media market. Those chances have been used to conduct illegal violations of user privacy, monopolize multiple market sectors, and ultimately go as far as actively abetting crimes against humanity. It is entirely reasonable and I think fundamentally imperative not to give them any more chances.

Here’s a question that I haven’t seen asked of people wanting to give them a chance. What will them federating help the fediverse in any way?

We don’t want/ need to be bigger

We have plenty of content if you go to hot and find popular communities you like. So much so, that that they want to come here to use it. They currently don’t let any threads users communicate with non-threads users unless you leave the app.

They’re an advertising company, are we missing the advertising?

If you have things that they could add in a positive way, feel free to add to this.

“We should give John Wayne Gacy a chance! Sure he’s a serial murderer who has stated that he’d keep killing if he weren’t under lock and key, but that’s no excuse to not invite him to the party!”
