Threads will be implementing federation in the near future and many instances have been discussing whether they should be pre-emptively defederated to protect the fediverse. See below for our local discussion thread, which will remain active until this vote is complete.

Given that this is a time-sensitive issue and it's the holiday season, we decided to initiate the vote a few days early to make sure everyone gets a chance to vote. The vote will be tallied on Friday, December 29th.

The opportunity to grow the fediverse quickly is enticing, but I think the risks of "embrace, extend, extinguish" are ultimately too high to federate until we have more info.

While the idea of a larger central instance for all the normies that don't understand the fediverse sounds pretty neat, I don't think corporations belong on the internet. Also, I don't know anyone who actually uses threads over something like mastodon or even bluesky.
