Why I probably won't defederate from Threads (plume.helios42.de)

The fediverse is discussing if we should defederate from Meta's new Threads app. Here's why I probably won't (for now).

(Federation between plume and my lemmy instance doesn't work correctly at the moment, otherwise I would have made this a proper crosspost)

I think I understand what you're trying to do here, Meta connecting to the fediverse and being blocked from a bunch of instances would be confusing to new users. For instance, if you're following a bunch of people at Instagram and Facebook and bring over those people to Threads, if they can't see everyone because they're blocked, that would be bad for meta. I say keep them out and the more instances that block meta, the better.
