In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old.

Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.

You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.

I've seen a lot of discussion about Threads around the fediverse and I believe our main instance community has had a few large discussions about it (here's a recent one).

I didn't see an Agora discussion post, so I'm making one.

Can we all discuss our opinions on whether we want this instance to remain federated with Threads or not and share our reasons? I'd appreciate it!

While I understand the collective freakout over Threads, I don't think we should do anything yet. Let the dust settle a bit. There's no sense in shooting from the hip.

When it comes to anything Zucky or Musky I say shooting before asking questions should be SOP.

I'm not convinced Threads will last long, and if it does it won't want to become widely federated. Meta needs it to be controllable and brand-friendly, but moderating and sanitizing the whole fediverse seems impossible for a single entity. I expect Threads will end up as a big walled garden that keeps it itself.

Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong, but at the end of the day none of us really know. So let's give it a few days or weeks and see what happens before jumping to conclusions.
