Yes, yes I know this is an unpopular opinion but let me give you guys an example that relates to this. You guys know email? Well if you had made an email instance and then Google made Gmail, would you guys block it? No. Just because it’s made by a big company does not mean you should block it. What if you wanted to talk to people on threads? What if you wanted more content because there is more users on there? Please don’t defederate from threads people.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm going to vote this up for the discussion, but I don't agree with your perspective.
On the surface you are correct that being able to speak to people who are on Threads would, in theory, be nice. The suspicion is that Meta is going for the EEE strategy. Allowing ourselves to be "embraced" would ultimately be damaging for the platform.
We've just started to move from Reddit to Lemmy and have shown we don't need centralised, corporate-owned channels of communication. I don't think we should stop this direction of travel when it comes to Threads.
