I saw in the posts recently how Metas thread grew rapidly in a span of just a day. I understand that since threads posts a privacy nightmare (no surprises there) I’m leaning towards de-federating with them.

But I am also cautiously excited about the massive amount of content if we federated instead.

So for purposes of discussion, may I know the pros and cons of federating with threads?

    That exact argument works for most communities to defederate from. “Federate with everyone unless I take issue with the community or how it’s run”.

    Plenty of other communities will federate with Threads, I don’t have any problem with lemmy.ml opting out.

    We’ll get to see if defederating with Threads makes post and discussion quality higher than in communities federated with Threads, or if it only stunts the growth of this instance.
