I’ve seen a lot of discussion about Threads around the fediverse and I believe our main instance community has had a few large discussions about it (here’s a recent one).

I didn’t see an Agora discussion post, so I’m making one.

Can we all discuss our opinions on whether we want this instance to remain federated with Threads or not and share our reasons? I’d appreciate it!

    Preemptive defederation with a scheduled poll for refederation one we find out more about what they are actually doing in the fedverse.

      I really like this idea of a reverse ‘wait and see’ attitude on Threads

      My main concern with Threads is basically them farming our content at the expense of our community vibe (instagrams social norms are basically the same as facebooks, comments are cancer).

      We could watch what happens in instances that are federated with them this way without subjecting ourselves to their experiment

        Agreed. Despite their production of REACT, Facebook’s past use of bots and the whole trump fiasco has already made me a little skeptical of them to say the least
