your point about them trying to federate as a defense against new regulations is one i hadn’t considered before. however, that doesn’t reduce the potential harm of federating with threads. facebook/meta have proven at practically every possible chance that they are not to be trusted with even the most inconsequential of things and should be avoided by anyone smart enough to recognize this.

it sounds to me like you are suggesting that federating with threads will prevent them from having that out of “see? we tried”, but i feel that cooperating with facebook/meta in any way is a compromise on my morals that i simply can’t justify.

i’d love to hear what potential benefits you (or anyone else who wants to contribute) believe federating with threads will bring to us other than a ton of users from a different ecosystem, as the discourse around this has been pretty all over the place recently and i think we need more measured opinions on this.
