The exchange is about Meta's upcoming ActivityPub-enabled network Threads. Meta is calling for a meeting, his response is priceless!

TL;DR (if you can’t be bothered reading all of the below) - Fosstodon will wait and see what happens, but if Facebook’s new service introduces any issues that could negatively impact our users, we will defederate.

This is Fosstodon's official stance on the whole Facebook joining the Fediverse debacle.

    Which is a bad plan, TBH. At this point in history, zero waiting needs to be done to know exactly the sense of Meta's involvement. The "if" is a certainty.

    yeah i mean i... don't know why you'd "wait and see". it's literally Facebook. they're going to negatively impact your community, if not in features (lol) then in sheer size and volume.
