    It should be pointed out that the author of this article had a private meeting with Meta regarding Threads and signed a NDA. He is also the head of a company that receives funding based on the popularity of the Mastodon software. There may or may not be deals we don’t know about, but he is certainly not an unbiased party.

    Meta’s business is monitoring and using online social networks to manipulate human behavior. Their massive userbase will cause Threads content and users to dominate instances that federate with them. It’s more than just “no like”.

      I did not know this, thank you for sharing. I am going to leave the comment because it has generated some good discourse (and hopefully maybe more) and in my reality, I don’t think I would even notice if this instance chooses defederation.
