Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Here's a very different take on Threads by a Fosstodon admin.

And some of us understand that what's happening here is not just about the technical workings and impact, it's also about how cultures and societies form and operate.

Following full federation, how long do you think it's going to be before the ultra-right groups that already post regularly and freely on Threads start targeting and brigading fedi instances where black people or gay people or trans people or disabled people or women currently feel safe?

Now, you might answer 'well, if they do that then we can just defederate' to which my response would be; they're already doing that, but at the moment only on Threads. We already know how they operate, we already know who they hate - why expose people in the groups they will target to that when it can be avoided?
