I think it’s pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.
Honestly, the more I think about this, I feel like keeping Threads will pull more people FROM there than it will push people away from Lemmy… once they learn what the fediverse is.
Anyone that’s on Lemmy **now ** isn’t going to go over to Threads.
That’s not how EEE works.
Meta have yet to prove they can actually implement it though. I feel like we’re worried about a theoretical, rather than an inevitability.
Lemmy.world benefits from threads and it allows a massive pool of users to subscribe to communities.
That is currently impossible though and we have no indication whatsoever that Threads will implement that part of the protocol
