You’ll probably have heard about Meta’s Threads which is a Twitter replacement running on Activity Pub - that means that it can and likely will federate with the rest of the Fediverse.
There are strong feelings about this, from petition: Defederate any instances that federates with threads proactivly , add threads.net on blocklists everywhere., citing the triple E problem. Then there are other opinions where it’s worth creating a place for everyone and having access to the Threads content from the Fediverse without using the Threads interface.
My initial thought here is to wait and see. I don’t think immediate action is going to matter all that much and defederation literally takes a few clicks. This is a tiny instance and one of its strengths is being able to connect to everyone else.
What are your thoughts?
I’ve recently learned that while the Threads server is using Activitypub, it’s currently a closed garden and not open to federation. So this whole thing may be moot.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
