Personally I'm against it. Fediverse has been a great way to escape the corporate internet and give people a space where they hold the power. Unless we react to these corporations looking to step in on this with hostility, our user-controlled space will be lost. Threads will have many times more users than any of the rest fediverse. This will give Threads much more influence than the rest of the fediverse. If we want to grow, it should be by our own merit, not because a corporation joined.
On top of that there are rumors that the reason Meta wants to join the fediverse is to cheaply dodge European regulations. I'm not European so my knowledge on this is limited. But if those rumors are true, then it's another reason for me to be against letting Meta join the fediverse.
I think we should meet Meta's attempts with joining the fediverse with immediate defederation.
Thank you Unchained for giving us users a say.
