        I think we should pressure public figures and governments to use non-threads profiles. That way if they pull the plug, there’s a loss to their own platform.

        a lot of folks here naively think Meta will for some reason handle things more ethically.

        Yeah it’s way easier to win arguments when you make up your opponent’s position in your mind

        Nobody thinks Meta will be ethical.

        We just think federation will be good for the Fediverse regardless.

              Just to be clear, you think (regardless of your rationale) that it’s not a problem if threads/meta integrates more into the fediverse, correct?

                If it becomes a problem, the fediverse can cut the bridge when they need to. No sense doing it pre-emptively.

      It’s just a mob-mentality.

      Make your own decisions, which these people clearly don’t want you to do.
