  Okay, and as inevitable as that seems, how about instances wait until that happens, and THEN defederate? The preemptive defederation is disappointing to see. My home instance has done it. I’ll have to wait and see who DOESN’T defederate so I can make an alt account and see for myself what happens.

    Meta is a known bad actor right up to the point of knowing they were facilitating a genocide and choosing not to do anything about it because “growth”.

    “Yes, he’s murdered people before in cold blood, but maybe he won’t this time. There’s no excuse for banning John Wayne Gacy from the party!”

        And yet, despite “knowing” that Meta is a known bad actor, you’re fine with “wait and see” when John Wayne Gacy wants to come to the block party.

    So you're saying you Want your experience here to be dominated by ads, lies, and propaganda?

      You’re almost as good at it as them, the way you put words in the mouths of others.

  wouldn’t Facebook/Threads users be getting the ads?

    Not all ads are marked as ads

      So, companies will create Threads accounts and use them to post ads as regular Threads posts, then? Because that’s what the block button is for.

      There’s also nothing that stops any company from doing exactly this in any instance that currently exists, including spinning up their own instance.

      If we’re talking ads that Threads will be inserting into the feeds on their site, what does it matter? Either they are a user making a regular post treated like any other user or they are something that Threads can only push on their own site.

  That’s called growth. Or do you want to keep Lemmy exclusive for marginals?

  Federation on Threads will be opt-in, you’ll be able to see posts only from people who actively decided to be available on the Fediverse. So it’s not going to be a 100 to 1 situation.

  but it will be a sanitised corporate safe space for advertisers

  Posts on threads might be, but they can’t force their standards onto posts or users on other servers. That’s kinda the point of federation.

  So, posts from Threads users will have to meet Threads “safe space” rules (because they are Threads users and Threads can require whatever it wants of them), but this means nothing for your posts on any other server. Worst case, Threads blocks you from visibility on Threads.

  and ads sprinkled throughout.

  Threads has no power to push their ads onto any federated server. They can show whatever ads they want on Threads, but those ads don’t appear to anyone else and likewise they couldn’t do anything to artificially make their content show up higher on any other server.
