Welcome! I've enjoyed my time here. The server runs smoothly. I can't even remember the last hiccup we've had here.
I would note that mas.to has not completely rejected federation with Threads. It is taking a taking a wait-and-see approach. They want to see how much this will affect the server load and to see how Threads implements integration.
@trumpet posted a well articulated nuanced position on it that was a breath of fresh air.
