I'm also in favor of remaining defeated, but I certainly understand it's a big risk. EEE is a real threat. On the other hand, something like Threads is the fast track to mainstreaming the Fediverse and really advancing us away from dependence on big tech

Big risk, big reward. The deciding factor for me is when on the fence I'd rather be inclusive. Creating a big fight against something I'm a bit skeptical of just isn't worth it.
