@SDF @sdfpubnix Please tell me that all #SDF instances across the Fediverse will be #defederating with #threads.net and any other instances created thereafter by any of the major data mining tech companies.

@thomask as I wrote over there:

Defederating from Threads is analogous to refusing to accept mail from or deliver mail to Gmail, is it not?

As long as there’s no concern with Threads knocking SDF over due to outsized mass, I think defederating is a bad move.

I mostly agree, but I've seen elsewhere that the fediverse (or some corners of it) were set up with the explicit intent to be ad-free and privacy respecting.

My opinion is that it all comes down to two things:

Will Threads respect that intent?
Given the difficulty of moderating content, can we handle the expected volume?

The answers to those questions can guide the admins (and us, I guess) in the decision.
