Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads
I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.

Threads will kill the Fediverse and chuds welcome it with open arms.
"everyone who disagrees with me is a chud"
Nah just every corpo lover is a chud.

Threads will kill the Fediverse...
How?
Flooding it with minions memes
Isn't that half of lemmy world already?
Lol true. I had to mute the meme communities. Felt like a thrift store of 2012 Facebook memes
I'm still on the fence on this. I feel like they should federate fully instead of only one way, but I'm trying to understand the threat from Threads. I know it's probably been done to death, but do you have a link or thorough explanation of why bringing more users and content to the fediverse is harmful?
Aside from E3 as shown below, my biggest fear is overshadowing the rest of the Fediverse
It’s one thing to say users can just individually block the instances, but that won’t help once the majority of all content is coming from them (and it will their user base dwarfs the entire Fediverse combined).
Individually blocking threads will lead to losing visibility of non-Threads users who are engaging with their overwhelming content generation.

A good read one one concern. Another is privacy. Genuinely, thank you for being curious.
