How do we feel about federating with Threads? (kbin.social)

Threads seems to be beginning to test ActivityPub federation, and since Kbin can be used for microblogging, this affects kbin.social. What are your thoughts on federating or defederating with them?

Meta has already pulled plenty of destructive shenanigans. What makes you think this time will be different?

That they have not yet done so.

It's not hard to defederate. It's a simple, easy lever to pull. All I'm saying is that it's silly to pull it preemtptively. Meta might do something destructive, but if it doesn't then defederating preemptively is a huge waste of an opportunity.

is better to pull before water starts boiling
