Someone should make a post about why blocking Threads is good and why it’s not to be confused with gate keeping.
If not properly communicated, this could look very badly for the uninitiated and they’re not to blame.
Some people of course have an educated opinion against blocking, but many presumably don’t know the reasons behind it.
I feel like that one instance not blocking threads should exist, like a common ground where people can interact and maybe convert threads user to leave big corpo and join us
Care to give a summary on why you think they should be blocked ahead of any bad acting?
Yes, there is some concern about Meta attempting EEE, but ultimately they’re a large platform that can bring a lot of users and attention to the Fediverse. There’s nothing preventing large instances from blocking them down the line, and with user level instance blocking coming in 0.19 to Lemmy (not sure if Mastodon et al have something similar), you can block them personally yourself if you wish, rather than having that thrust upon you by your instance admins.
Not OP, but some corporations are “less evil” than others, or at the very least less obvious about being evil. “Evil corporation” means they’re extra evil.
This is a great example to explain it to people who are familiar with the topic.
But if I tell that to a “random” friend, word for word, they won’t know what I’m talking about :D

Their “test run” was only sending threads posts and not receiving any fediverse posts.
This is them shouting their intent, as far as i’m concerned.
Because Meta has a long track record of being outright an evil corporation(not figuratively, literally).
Meta has already shown its hand multiple times, why would it be different this time?
“evil corporation” is quite the tautology.

No one has articulated it well. It’s all just “meta bad”. Can’t we just defederate if they pull some crap and be no worse off than we are now?
Essentially because after they did something bad it’s likely too late. But others can explain this in more detail with more knowledge than I have.
Shutup bro
Because , we know better than to trust lizard people.
Nailed it. No one can argue with that 🧠

EEE is the reason to defed
