(Sorry for bad english not my first language)
I am pretty sure most of us can agree on how bad Meta is and for some reason people are defending Meta.
I think many people is not realising how Threads and Federation with Threads is going to harm the development of Fediverse.
I dont think many people realize how Threads itself is going to harm fediverse. After twitters well known series dumb moves, many people saw this as an opportunity for fediverse to rise. But with Threads, essentially a 1 to 1 copy of twitter, just going to scoop all of that twitter refugees. Not just that but Threads is using fediverse as ready to consume content farm and eventually cause some users to migrate out of fediverse to Threads because “Well i can stay in touch with near circle easly while still being in fediverse” and after getting enough profits they will defederate themselves because there is not enought to gain from at that point. They will suck the life juice out of Fediverse.
Also as you know threads is tightly integrated with Instagram which made many Instagram users dove head first into Threads and this caused Instagram and Threads culture to be identical. And i think you can guess how bad Instagram culture is. Threads is just a breeding ground companies and influencers with high levels of toxicity and homophobia almost instantly. And we dont want this culture to infintirate Fediverse (Right?)
Also no, Threads is not going to contribute to Fediverse in users because why would a user will leave meta’s ecosystem and getting into this confusing things about fediverse while they can experience fediverse from Threads? Your average Threads user is not going to care about Fediverse. They will not even know what is fediverse is properly due to how anti-user most of the fediverse is right now. We need to improve on user friendliness to actually get attention instead of getting attention because an another platform is dying.
We need to defederate from Threads to prevent them from profiting off fediverse. They will just bring bad things opposed to good things.
Edit 1: Sorry i was a bit aggresive in the post. Also i reinstalles threads to see how shittie this app is after a bit more maturizing and i already sae a couple scams
Edit 2: I started to leave defederation side aswell but i am still strongly believe they might pull an EEE on us + I dont like the culture still
Edit 3: Nope, Threads community does not fit overall fediverse community and i think we defederate.
Yeah, its sad. one more place dead, but most wont know until they have lived through it a few times. I was hoping we would find our feet here before we get too many people watering it down. Guess that’s a very dead dream. There is some hope though. The people that made reddit what it was to start with were people like us. When we go we create new great places, and where the average person goes(if they can do more than just read and learn our ways) they will destroy it. Reddit became about cats and trump as soon as the masses showed up. Now we get to see that again here.
You’ve been here 25 days and not made a single contribution until the last 2 days where you’ve been posting about defederation. Now this place is ‘dead’?
You are trying to control everyone else’s behavior, but your own doesn’t even match your demands. Because you’re demanding perfection and real things aren’t perfect.
Bit of an unrelated but as you know there is a quite bit LGBT invidiuasl in fediverse. and i think you know HOW MUCH HOMOPHOBIA is in Instagram and Threads aswell. by day one i saw countless anti-lgbt posts on threads. and i dont think its a good idea to bring those people to fediverse.
Overreaction much? Threads isn’t even federated yet.
Worry about bolting the door once the horse is actually heading towards the stable.
The horse is known to bolt, it also killed a child last week, also the neighbor said he’d shoot me if i let it out again and he means it. But don’t worry, the horse that escaped a dozen times should be given another chance.
