I'm not suggesting anything, just want to know what do you think.

Here is a link if someone don't know what Meta's Threads is: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/07/what-to-know-about-threads/

I've been following the Meta drama on Mastodon for a while now, and while I don't think Threads is designed exclusively for EEE - I can help but feel that may become the unintentional result.

that's and influx of a potential 3.74 billion people

☝️ Because of that right there ☝️

The moderation tools on Lemmy and Mastodon are getting better, but short of defederation - a nuclear option - I worry that the influx of people will bring along the worst of the internet. The trolls, the astroturfers, the literal state sponsored hacking groups/rage farmers.

I don't think Meta is going to come to the Fediverse to take it over, I think it's coming to get a short term win by accessing the community of people who purposefully abandoned it years ago.

I disabled my Facebook account over 10 years ago, but by federation with my Mastodon instance mean Meta can claim me as "a Threads connected user" ? Probably - it's technically true.
