I consider this to be a bad development. I could see Facebook/Meta aggressively growing to become the "default" server, then squashing everybody else. Not to mention all the US intelligence fuckery that will be potentially happening.
We laugh at this now, but in a few months we might have server admins enforcing Meta TOS on their users for fear of being cut out from the biggest part of the Fediverse.
I'd propose that right from the get-go, a bunch of instances should band together and defederate from Threads.
Defederating from Threads by default is absolutely the right move.
I'm out of the loop on what meta is trying to do with lemmy. Can you catch me up?
Not exactly, Lemmy. But Meta created a new app similar to Twitter and said they will join the Fediverse with this app in the future, só you could potentially interaction with Threads' content with your Lemmy or Mastodon account without having to create a Meta account or downloadind their app.
God that makes me feel icky
