   Here's a story that illustrates why I favour federating with Chains ("Threads"), even though I'm opposed to Meta's very existence.

   Alice and Bob follow each other on InstaGrope. Alice, being more of an early adopter, signs up for Chains, and convinces Bob to do the same. Then Chains turns on AP federation. Alice realises she can still follow and talk to all the same people on Chains from other fediverse servers, and moves to one.

     I think that's the minimum reasonable position. I have no problem with server admins Limiting or fully defederating from Chains, on the same case-by-case basis as any other server-level moderation decision. But threatening to defederate from servers that choose to let Chains accounts interact with people using their server is rude and somewhat authoritarian.

     @strypey It would be nice to list instances by affinity to meta.

     You seem to be on friend-of-a-friend camp... Acting as a bright from meta instance to others.

     I guess mine would be no to meta but yay to FOAF.
