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.

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?

I agree. Defederate.

They should, but they're not going to. If mastodon.world isn't doing it, lemmy.world isn't either.

Edit: both mastodonworld and lemmyworld are owned and operated by the same admins and such.
