Afaik, whenever an Activitypub instance has defederated from another it has always had to do with some combination of bad user behavior, poor moderation, and/or spam. Are the various instance admins who have decided to preemptively block threads.net simply convinced that these traits will be inevitable with it? Is it more of a symbolic move, because we all hate Meta? Or is the idea to just maintain a barrier (albeit a porous one) between us and the part of the Internet inhabited by our chuddy relatives?

(For my part, I’m working on setting up my own Lemmy and/or Pixelfed instance(s) and I do not currently intend to defederate.)

    I fully agree. I’ve seen the XMPP EEE analogy used a lot, but I don’t think it is the real objection

    We’ve got a nice respectful community, of people who want to see community-driven interaction and sharing succeed - Threads offers nothing we want or need
