The recent excitement surrounding Thread's arrival on the Fediverse is concerning. To understand why this is not a good idea, consider their economic interest in harvesting data, their poor moderation, and their manipulations. Nothing good can come from their federation. Don't roll out the red carpet for them.

Remember when Gchat was federated with XMPP, and the federation was dropped when it wasn't serving Google's needs anymore?
