Many of us do not trust Facebook and anything it is associated with or swallows up.
EDIT:
"Instagram head Adam Mosseri said "
““Soon, you’ll be able to follow and interact with people on other fediverse platforms, such as Mastodon. They can also find people on Threads using full usernames, such as @mosseri@threads.net.””
“We’re committed to building support for ActivityPub, the protocol behind Mastodon, into this app. We weren’t able to finish it for launch given a number of complications that come along with a decentralized network, but it’s coming,” he said.
“If you’re wondering why this matters, here’s a reason: you may one day end up leaving Threads, or, hopefully not, end up de-platformed. If that ever happens, you should be able to take your audience with you to another server. Being open can enable that.”
I don’t necessarily want much interference with content. Just defederate from known bad actors really.
We have no evidence of bad acting in the fediverse from Meta. It’s all speculation at this point. And you’re changing your argument back and forth from poor content concerns to “meta is evil.”
You’re asking for a better curated community in the end. If the content is bad or some other weird scenario occurs, then admins will act accordingly.
No evidence of bad acting from Meta? This is a joke right? If you think they will not do their best to pull the same bullshit they have pulled everywhere else you being a bit naive.
I’m not changing my argument. I don’t generally want interference with content. BUT in the case of Meta, who is known to be awful, and have awful content, yes I argue that both are good enough reasons to not join hands with them.
You literally misquoted me. I said no evidence of bad acting in the fediverse. Words have meaning. Don’t argue in bad faith.
I’m not arguing in bad faith. They aren’t in the fediverse yet so of course there is no evidence here yet. I’m pointing out that you are putting your head in the sand and ignoring that Meta is a bad company, with bad intentions, and they will not change just because muh fediverse.
You are arguing in bad faith. You claimed I said Meta never acted in bad faith. I never did. That’s a bad faith argument. It’s a strawman arguments. Your whole first paragraph is attacking and insulting a position I literally never made. This is a joke, right? You seem a bit naive.
I don’t think we will get nowhere with furthering this discussion. I feel you aren’t following what I am saying, and I can’t tell if it’s willful or not. So, my bad. I’m sorry. I’m not trying to discuss anything in bad faith.
I am following you, I just don’t think you understand it’s incorrect. You change your argument between it being garbage content to being about undetermined, nonspecific dangers from Meta. We barely even ultimately disagree. I’ll probably want to defederate Threads. I just don’t want to do it for stupid illogical and immature reasons. I want to be consistent with how I approach the fediverse. I will treat all instances the same until the instance shows a reason otherwise. I will not make assumptions based on predetermined notions, no matter what the company has done. Especially since it is mostly moot since Threads has suggested they’ll be multi-instance. It’s like telling s Lemmy instance don’t federate with Kbin. Or a specific PixelFed instance to not federate with Mastodon.
