I agree. Everyone should be able to decide for themselves. My only concern is that Fediverse servers will suddenly become expensive to host because of the Threads traffic. But this would also happen with many users on many smaller instances and is not specific to Threads.

When the big corporations leave people just need to reist the "oh the user numbers are so small now, the Fediverse must be outdated" fallacy. Just like XMPP. Still works great, we just need people to use it instead of the silos which are popular now.
We should treat them like any other instance. If they are a good citizen of the Fediverse they stay, otherwise they will be blocked and nothing has changed.
It only works if people stop using Mastodon once Threads stops federating. ActivityPub is dead they will say.
Probably that would be an Android vulnerability.
I don't care what their executives earn, but if those companies paid their taxes and stopped interfering with unionization efforts that would be nice.
XMPP still works great btw. It was hard to convince everyone to get an address, but now 95% of my messages are over XMPP. To me compatibility with internet standards is a hard requirement.
Not every project needs regular maintenance. I can imagine a keyboard to be a finished product, no updates necessary.
Users on Mastodon can simply block their domain if they want to.
Please leave Lemmy, your kind is not welcome here.
I'm using Linux ten years now and I never learned shell scripting. Or do you mean running commands in the shell?
I don't believe you. If you spend that much time on something you get good at it.
