Most of the people preemptively defederating from Threads don't understand how ActivityPub works.

I hope the instances I'm on stay federated. It'll be nice having communications with people I'm interested in again, without having to use Meta's trackers to do so.

I smell a rat!

I see this going only a few directions:

Threads tries and fails
Threads succeeds, flexes, annexes
Equilibrium, and Mastodon/Lemmy become the social network APIs that connect across (like I wish we'd had when G+ was a thing)

I was considering starting a mastadon account but I guess I'll pass. Gonna be interesting to see how this changes the fediverse.

edit: oh double fuck you mastadon users. just go join threads already.

Thing about the Fediverse is that software is just software; what you should care about is the instances. There are a whole bunch of Mastodon instances that have already defederated long ago. A few big ones include mas.to, mstdn.social and troet.cafe; you can find the rest here: fedipact.veganism.social/.
