Meta recently launched Threads in a seemingly rushed state likely aiming to capitalize on Twitter's recent actions, missing features such as Digital Markets Act compliance and ActivityPub support.

Some communities have decided to preemptively defederate them as soon as that gets implemented under fears of them repeating what google did with XMPP by using "Embrace, Expand until no one else can keep up" tactics, while others have claimed those fears are overblown.

I was on FB since college in 2005. I was on when it was college kids only, then high school kids, then our parents. As FB wanted more money I saw the decline each time. Whatever they touch becomes corrupt and unholy. I doubt it would halogen but if Burggit federates with Threads then I'm out. I want to move away from corporate.

Tbh there's no way Meta will try to federate with this instance anyway, judging by what kind of content is posted here.
