A community index of servers added a new rule recently, that requires every participant to defederate from Threads. Some admins are unhappy.

    Federating with Threads only hurts Meta.

    Defederating helps Meta.

    What the fuck are you talking about, That is the opposite of true.

        You did not explain how federating with Meta hurts Meta. You could not have because it does not.

          You don’t think allowing people to interact with Meta users while NOT ingesting ads (their virtually sole income stream) or having corporations spy on the entirety of their online presence hurts Meta? You can’t imagine how people might realize that they no longer need to use Meta services to follow and interact with the people they actually want to, and that they might leave without losing anything?

            I don’t think letting people interact with you without leaving Meta hurts Meta, no.

            Building something bad actors aren’t allowed to access and telling people about it without letting Meta play middleman is how you get people off meta,not throwing open the doors to Evil.

              Okay so you’re just ignoring everything I’ve said in the comment you replied to? That’s your strategy?

              Already been done. It doesn’t work. Threads will essentially become a giant billboard for the Fediverse and receive nothing in return.

                No it won’t. You are either a fool or a liar.

                Clearly Threads is seeking federation. Do you think Meta would seek out something bad for them?

                “Give Meta what they want because they are foolish and don’t realize their desires will hurt them” seems to be your (terrible) argument.
