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.

Let's federate with Threads. Let's not jump to conclusions beforehand.

I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and see how they behave. We can always defederate later.

Yes! I wonder how a company working with Cambridge analytica to start a war, and influence elections worldwide, who sold children's personal information illegaly in EU, and gleefully partcipates in the Prism surveillance program, would be? 🤔 I mean it's not like they just gutted their staff trying to deal with misinformation for the 24 election. We simply can't predict how they might behave!

Bad take dude it's like saying let's not jump to conclusions after Hitler invaded Poland or retuck the Rhineland Jesus Christ. They have such a comically horrific history they've run out of chances years ago

If we defederate after the second step of EEE it still won’t save us from the third one.
