This is the most comprehensive analysis of the Threads situation that I have seen to far. I recommend giving it a read.

    This text made me realise something: “defed or not defed” discussions are ultimately rushed.

    Because at the end of the day, most Mastodon instances might defed Threads. Not due to Facebook’s help in genocides or because they’re a big corp, but simply because admins will say “screw it, 90% of rule violations come from Threads users, I’m not dealing with this shit.”

    Honestly? I don’t think Lemmy will even see 1% of Threads content. So I don’t see why we’re fussing over defedding here.

      Because a lot of people here are also on the microblogging side of the Fediverse and a lot of people find Lemmy/kbin’s presentation of conversations a lot more appealing.

      Also a lot of people don’t realize that we won’t see Threads content at all because they don’t quite understand how federation works.

        We will only see threads content if they deliberately interact with us here.

          I know, I’m not saying it’s not. Additionally, it is not even sure if they will ever be able to, because Lemmy uses the article format for posts while microblogging platforms use note.

    really nice writeup, but this made me curious, have any meta lawsuits resulted in jail time? pretty sure an individual wouldnt be able to get away with what meta has been doing
