A message to admins regarding the threads entering fediverse.
While i think more people learning of the fediverse could be potentialy beneficial, I also think that we should un-federate with them since corporations are the biggest danger to it. they used EEE(Embrace,Extend,Extinguish) tactics before and they will probably use them here as well. not to mention the blatant privacy risks it will bring. I'm not the only one who thinks not de-federating with them is a bad idea I think this comment explains it better than i could have:

Plan on defederating with them, but wait until they actually do something that violates fediverse standards (which shouldn’t take long). That’ll raise visibility for the issue with the media and threads users, especially if it’s part of the same news cycle when threads is touting its implementation of the protocol.
The most important part of this imo is the fact that whatever lemmy.world does will have major consequences to the fediverse since its the largest instance by far.
lemmy.world may have an impact on lemmy, but there are a lot of much bigger mastodon instances. in fact, lemmy.world is #9, and every other instance ahead of it is mastodon (except 1 which is misskey)
several instances already did back when Threads first launched – you can check your own instance by going to https://your.instance.name/instances and searching for threads.net
