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.

If you are on twitter, facebook, myspace, or youtube, you have to make an account on each of those platforms to talk to people there. None of them talk to each other.
Letting another platform connect to the Fediverse, that is a commercial entity (with a horrid reputation no less), is like trying to force MySpace and YouTube to talk to each other.
The Fediverse and meta are at completely opposite ends of the spectrum.
The majority of users in the Fediverse are actually being "social".
Meta is running a business, harvesting your entire life for profit and selling it. Not to mention the "unsocial" way their algorithms force negativity into your lives.
I really don't want my trash neighbors at the party.
