Their intentions don't matter. Meta's only intention is make line go up. They will either consume or extinguish the fediverse with the rest of the corps. I'll be leaving lemmy.world the minute thread federates. I'm just gonna be a lazy ass until then.

I thought I understood lemmy.world's position several months ago was to not federate with Threads. This was the vocal position of many instances. Has this changed?

I... Don't think lemmy.world said it. I think they took more of a "wait and see" approach, in contrast to most other instances. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Agreed, my reaction will mainly be "oh no - creates account on another instance - well anyway..."

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I already did. But what will happen to the fediverse will mirror what happened to email when corporations came in. So eventually you will have nowhere to run.
