   Hmm… Hachyderm.io, one of the larger Mastodon instances, just decided to defederate from threads.net: https://community.hachyderm.io/blog/2025/01/09/defederation-from-threads/

     @timbray @clementd “Hmm?” Surely you mean “bravo!”, no?

     Isn’t that usually the sentiment expressed by decent people when someone says via their actions that bigotry and fascism aren’t welcome in their space?

     @ddonnell @timbray “The Nazi bar next door is immoral but popular, we should knock down the wall between us.”

     I don’t think so.

     @timbray I worry this is a mistake. Meta is immoral, but most people are not aware of that fact or aware that the fediverse exists. If federation with Threads brings more awareness for the fediverse, it may be a net positive in the long run.

     @ddonnell @timbray Threads is a Nazi bar. The people who use Threads are folks who don’t see a problem with going to a Nazi bar (or don’t know/care where they are).

     @aral @timbray the people that use Threads are not Nazis.

     @clementd @timbray Indeed. Almost like the worst possible corporations don’t have to be given every benefit of the doubt every fucking time it something.

     @aral @timbray Who would have guessed that not federating with threads on the grounds of "meta can't be trusted for anything" would be proved effective time and time again?

     @aral @timbray My instance has never federated with threads, but yeah I'm glad hachyderm made this choice as well
