@MrFrobozz this a good take. Do people want the web to be more open generally or just have an ideologically pure corner of it? For the time being, the only reason to defederate with Threads is because you want to gatekeep open standards, but to me open standards are supposed to be agnostic. I think it’s totally possible that very legitimate reasons to defederate show up- but just wanting to defederate because of the company that created it isn’t something I agree with.

@aberrate_junior_beatnik @niartenyaw how do you know that? Isn’t it entirely possible that they just decided to build a Twitter knock off and realized that building off ActivityPub gave them a headstart and some good PR? Meta is a giant compared to the fediverse and it’s trying to compete with other giants, not ants. Declaring we won’t eat crumbs dropped from the giant’s table isn’t going to even be noticed by the giant. We get more out of federation than they do by a mile.
