     Absolutely. Thanks.

     What part of your #Fedi data and presence will be @ risk when the #MetaHordes come galloping through #ActivityPub from #Threads?

     Like his press release.--But while I do not dispute the technological facts #Eugen explains, and will not even say that some of his conclusions are erroneous, this text simply overlooks the cultural dimension, qualitatively and quantitatively.

     We are presently...

     @HistoPol @BlackAzizAnansi there is much to fear about meta.

     But there is no reason to think blocking them is actually going to achieve anything to "protect" us from them, not until there are clearer understanding of what bad behaviors to expect from them, and how federating with them would enable them.

     For now, all the examples of abuse from meta i seen suggested, were based on meta threatening to de-federate us, so de-federating them in the first place is just getting there right away.

     I sincerely share that thought, @BlackAzizAnansi.

     But we can try to influence our instance's owner and/or implement the following safety precautions:

     ...struggling to accommodate a few 100k #TwitterRefugees. My feeling is that there is a group effort to accommodate and welcome everyone. 😀

     Let's even say these newcomers all become good #Fedizens in no time, embracing cultural aspects like #AltText right away.

     This still leaves the 13m #Fedizens against (potentially) 1.400 mn #Metas.
     (I know, not everyone will want to sign up with #Threads...)

     Which leads us back to my chart of the ant-eater...
