The fediverse is discussing if we should defederate from Meta's new Threads app. Here's why I probably won't (for now).

    Its interesting that everyone focuses on the privacy and the EEE risk of this, but my reasons for leaving Facebook were that Facebook is actively-allowing-the-promotion-of-genocide-because-not-moderating-is-better-for-their-bottom-line Evil. I left facebook because I’m not willing to provide the (even infinitesimal) boost to their network effects that my account had. For the same reason, Threads is an instant defederate on launch.

      You have to remember that 40% of the US population is onboard with said genocides, so that’s not a negative for them.

      Then again, they’re so imbued with the powers of fetal alcohol syndrome it’s a wonder any of them reach voting age and beyond so whatever.
