I think the best path forward with Threads is not to defederate the whole thing, cutting off access to 10s of thousands of average well-meaning people, and instead defederate the rule-breaking, policy-violating accounts directly.

So to be able to connect with those people is something many people here would love to be able to do.

Jcrabapple :virginia_badge: (jcrabapple@dmv.community)'s status on Friday, 15-Dec-2023 02:34:33 JST Jcrabapple :virginia_badge: @tokyo_0 I've read that. It doesn't make a very good point. I've heard all the opinions and none of them seem to make any sense. Mostly wild hyperbole and speculation.
If this place gets "destroyed" because of federating with a website using the very protocols it was designed to connect with, then it was never meant to be in the first place.
We are going to be fine.

Not to be rude but I'm done with this conversation. Thanks for your time.
