I feel like @zuck may achieve his goal of killing the #Fediverse through divide et impera without even needing to kickstart the E-E-E phase.
The simple announcement that #Threads is going to federate has caused such a huge backlash, and so much pressure and retaliatory blocks and defederations towards users and admins guilty of not doing enough to block this perceived “cancer” (including @Gargron), that I feel like the Fediverse is at risk of splintering in two - a subset of instances that will not defederate Threads, and another subset that will defederate it, and wants to cut all the bridges with those who haven’t done so.
