[Vote] Should we pre-emptively defederate Threads?
Threads will be implementing federation in the near future and many instances have been discussing whether they should be pre-emptively defederated to protect the fediverse. See below for our local discussion thread, which will remain active until this vote is complete.
Given that this is a time-sensitive issue and it's the holiday season, we decided to initiate the vote a few days early to make sure everyone gets a chance to vote. The vote will be tallied on Friday, December 29th.

The opportunity to grow the fediverse quickly is enticing, but I think the risks of "embrace, extend, extinguish" are ultimately too high to federate until we have more info.

While the idea of a larger central instance for all the normies that don't understand the fediverse sounds pretty neat, I don't think corporations belong on the internet. Also, I don't know anyone who actually uses threads over something like mastodon or even bluesky.

In the end it doesn't really matter? I suppose I can still send people links to things here regardless if I want them to see it, they'd just be unable to interact with it from a threads account.

No, I don't see the fear mongering about threads taking over the fediverse make any logical sense.
There's a lot of "don't let them take over another social media!" but unless I'm mistaken, theres a large difference between how federation works and how literally using Facebooks own website, or X or reddit or whatever other centralized social media site.
Nay.
This is ridiculous. It does nothing but inconvenience people who want shared content. I want the personal ability to chose my content. Removing that at the instance level just takes that away from me.
If they want your data they'll download it with or without federation.
