I feel like we should federate with threads.net (sh.itjust.works)

Yes, yes I know this is an unpopular opinion but let me give you guys an example that relates to this. You guys know email? Well if you had made an email instance and then Google made Gmail, would you guys block it? No. Just because it’s made by a big company does not mean you should block it. What if you wanted to talk to people on threads? What if you wanted more content because there is more users on there? Please don’t defederate from threads people.

No thank you. I've done my best to keep everything Meta out of my life (and by extension, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, etc), despite peer pressure. Throughout its history, Meta (basically le Zuck and friends) have demonstrated their unquenchable greed and with it their immeasurable ego to justify their actions, however immoral.

I don't use Gmail. I pay for a service that provides me email and respects my privacy. If you want to use Gmail, be my guest. Should you? Definitely not. Same goes for Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram and the latest incarnation: Threads. If I want to talk to people on Threads, I'll create a Threads account.
