While i think more people learning of the fediverse could be potentialy beneficial, I also think that we should un-federate with them since corporations are the biggest danger to it. they used EEE(Embrace,Extend,Extinguish) tactics before and they will probably use them here as well. not to mention the blatant privacy risks it will bring. I'm not the only one who thinks not de-federating with them is a bad idea I think this comment explains it better than i could have: https://lemmy.world/comment/6040940

Plan on defederating with them, but wait until they actually do something that violates fediverse standards (which shouldn’t take long). That’ll raise visibility for the issue with the media and threads users, especially if it’s part of the same news cycle when threads is touting its implementation of the protocol.

    Eh I think it's a stronger signal if everyone backs away to start. It's not like the parent company is unfamiliar and deserves benefit of the doubt.

    To whom are you sending the signal, though?

    For most people who don’t already know about the fediverse (i.e, most potential threads users), the first time the concept crosses their awareness threshold will be when threads finally connects and the media start running stories about it. Any attempt to send a signal before that point will be invisible to them.
