I have my problems with Meta, but I'm hoping this will help Mastodon grow

So the hate for this is now gone and replaced with praise? What happened to all the posts about how this is an attack on TNT frediverse when Meta first announced this integration?

My stance is still a hard fuck no to Threads entering the fediverse.

Edit: My reasoning can be read in my old comment here. It's all still applicable in regard to meta/Threads federating.

There's no logical reason to give them the benefit of the doubt or have unrealistically positive expectations given their overwhelmingly consistent track record.

The way I see it have them show through actions that they won't EEE for a good few years with whoever is willing to risk it. If they don't show any signs of EEE then, I might reconsider my stance on federation with them. Until then I'll keep threads.net on the blocked list of my instance.

That's OP's opinion and some users here, but I don't praise it and I don't think it will be good for fediverse in the future. People will start using Threads app since they can interact with other fediverse instance. And there will be more drama and more toxic content just like on fb, twitter, tiktok and ig.

This is even more concerning

I will consider to stop using lemmy..

There are always other instances. Threads is one of the only two domains that my instance blocks. Even the second largest instance, lemm.ee, and the original instance, lemmy.ml, have blocked Threads.

Also, considering how little even Mastodon users interact with Lemmy, you guys will see close to nothing of them.
