If/when #threads federates, idk what to do, on one end you have the issues and potential #eee that meta will do among other things, makes it probably a good thing that many instances are blocking them, at the same time tho, I see value in being able to interact with threads users on #Mastodon and we could even use it to promote mastodon, so I'm very mixed
Edit:accidentally posted this before I finished writing it
Albeit this feels like Linux drama, Bobby wrote a very important article, so I'd like to share it with you all.

I wish more people would fight for #Podcasting the same way people are fighting for the #Fediverse.
#Meta, #Tumblr, et al, are saying that they're joining the Fediverse (I'll believe it when I see it) and everyone is trying to figure out how best to deal with that.
Meanwhile, #Spotify and #YouTube have already #EEE #Podcasts by adding music podcasts that don't sync to #RSS feeds and not providing #VideoPodcasts with RSS feeds at all.

Das findest du. Aber es gibt ja auch andere Instanzen, die manche Leute evt. ausschlieรen wollen, z.B. Nazi- oder Porno-Instanzen. Das wรผrde bald unรผbersichtlich in der Auswahlliste der Sichtbarkeiten.
รbrigens: Meta verweist in einer aktuellen Pressemitteilung auf #Wordpress, fรผr das es ein ActivityPub-Plugin gibt, und #Tumblr, das angekรผndigt hat, bald via AP zu fรถderieren. Beide gehรถren der Firma #Automattic. Die ist zwar nicht so skandalumwittert wie Facebook/Meta, aber sehr einflussreich, weil fast jede zweite Website von Wordpress angetrieben wird. Muss man die defรถderieren? Ich sehe im Moment keinen Grund. Aber im Auge behalten. Zusammen mit Meta kรถnnten sie die Zukunft von #ActivityPub dominieren. Bei der Weiterentwicklung des Standards die Zรผgel an sich zu reiรen, wรคre fรผr diese Firmen ein Leichtes, weil das Normierungsgremium jetzt schon ein sehr zerstrittener chaotischer Haufen ist (so mein Eindruck von auรen). #EEE

At 15:00, he already suggests the possibility of extending beyond ActivityPub. #EEE
@altsoftdrink eu acho que eles vรฃo chegar desenvolvendo muita novidade usando o protocolo AP.
รฉ aquela estrategia do #EEE vรฃo deixar interessante pq eles tm capital pra investir em equipes grandes e oferecer um serviรงo dahora. Quando todo mundo migrar pra lรก eles fecham o cercadinho.
@tchambers The cost-benefit analysis of defederation is plain bad imo
As you said, it doesn't prevent #EEE, so the benefits are negligible
And it isolates the instances that defederate from a massive amount of content and terrific people to follow, so the costs are actually huge
I'm happy to be on a server that won't defederate
@rysiek
Maybe "connecting to" or "plugging into" rather than "joining" would better describe what Meta is doing.
Or maybe "embracing".
IMHO, we're just at the first E in #EEE - embrace, extend, extinguish https://wikiless.northboot.xyz/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish

Zuck: yea so weโre joining the fediverse and I even got some instance admins to sign ndas and federate

Zuck: they came to us
Zuck: i donโt know why
Zuck: they โtrust meโ
Zuck: dumb fucks

Remember:
1) embrace
2) extend
3) extinguish
is also the procedure for properly using a fire extinguisher. ๐งฏ

#CoSocialMeta Hi Board.
Tldr I am not in favour of preemptive meta blocking.
I do agree this needs careful watching. There are numerous risks when Leviathan joins the party including #EEE moderation overwhelm, infrastructure scaling,
I liked this post as a thoughtful assessment:
