Threads when federated with this community: NOT GOOD.
It is your choice whether to use it or not. The Fediverse is like the Linux of social media, I like it more here and on other fedi apps than on the corporate social media.
Am I the only one who’s confused why it’s such a bad thing for Threads to federate?
It’s just essentially be a really big instance. People can turn it off or go to instances that defederate from threads if they hate it.
My potentially controversial (at least here) take is that the Fediverse needs a few mainstream players like Threads to flourish long-term. It’ll be some serious mainstream attention on what federated services offer, and also a shallow end of the pool that normal people can start their Fediverse journey in

The amount of people who believe themselves and their interests safe from the totalizing influence of these companies really breaks my mind.
Threads when isolated from this community: STILL NOT GOOD
