The Mastodon instances that I’m a member of have all preemptively defederated and I am very supportive. Just occurred to me we could still see the threads folks over here. What do you guys think? How does this instance feel about Meta?

It would be nice to see meta’s TOS concerning federation first. If it’s not egregious, like Facebook, it would be good to volunteer an instance to connect with them, similar to putting a toe in the water.
I’ve just read through the Mastodon/Threads FAQ, and, so far, I’m ok with it.

My biggest problem with that blog post is Eugene seems convinced that Mastodon’s brand is sufficient enough to prevent EEE. I really think he is missing the fact that his own distaste for fairly popular features makes Mastodon fairly easy to poach users from.
What sort of features? I haven’t really used Mastodon as I was never much for Twitter.
This is what the water is like, do you want that here?
I think I know what you were trying to post but the image didn’t attach.
Weird, and thanks for letting me know, must be an issue of sharing between servers… I can see the pic from my side at this address but I just got notified about your comment, 8h after you posted it
TOS can change at their whim. Even if the TOS started out decent it would change as soon as they were established. Severing threads once the user base is entrenched would be much more difficult than not allowing federation from the start.
