Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads (lemmy.world)

I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.

And you're free to do so, that's the entire point of a decentralised system.

They aren't making decision for anyone but themselves, again, as is the point.

If you don't agree with whatever they do, find an instance you do agree with or start your own.

Staying or leaving has the same amount of personal agency.
