Man. As if Threads would even care. Due to their connection with instagram, they will automatically become the bigger content aggregator anyway. Why would threads even risk federation with platforms they do not control - and then they get sued if some moron on some instance posts questionable shit and some snowflake user on threads sees it. I’d bet Threads was never supposed to be federated. They just made use of a pre-existing software, just as truth social did. Why work hard, if the software is already there?
Furthermore threads is not even competing with Lemmy and Reddit like alternatives. I do t get all this fuss about threads. Everyone is suddenly so anti corporate, even though big corporations had a big part in what the internet is today.
In the future Defederation will just strengthen the position of bigger platforms. People will sooner or later be unhappy with the rather low amount of content and move to bigger platforms (that will eventually by controlled by corporations)
Staying federated is the smarter decision, as users will stay on smaller instances, since they have a big pool of content from other instances, including corporate instances like threads or similar.
Lmao, what a bootlicker
Lets try to not throw names around and keep civil please. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, even if we dont agree with them
Yes, absolutely. So I am entitled to my belief that the commenter is a bootlicker. If you claim to be pro "we need to hear everyone out" (which I oppose strongly and deep inside you do, too), isn't it hypocritical to claim authority over what is and isn't allowed because "it's not civil"?
Yes, but everyone is entitled to call people idiots when they're spouting idiocy.
