Threads has begun connecting to the fediverse.

      Couldn’t just some of y’all defed instead of blocking it wholesale for everyone?

      I thought one of the main perks of federation was user choice?

        Yeah and we choose you going somewhere else to play with Facebook.

            This place is growing just fine already, we don’t need to dump 141 million new accounts into it overnight.

              That’s not how federation and mastodon works, and you know that very well.

              Simply don’t follow anyone on threads if you don’t wanna see thread content. But who TF cares where the content comes from?

                I care. If I start seeing content from Meta in the fediverse I’ll probably just leave.

                  Why? Why are humans who use threads so repulsive to you that you leave an entire federated social network just because some people used a particular server?

                    It’s not because of the humans. Like many other people, I think Facebook/Meta is cancer on society. I don’t want anything to do with it.

                    I also have other reasons I don’t like the fediverse that would make it easier to walk away, especially the political extremism.
