Everywhere I look there are people advocating for defederation from this and that! Do you even understand what you’re suggesting? Do you get what’s the point of decentralized social media and activity pub?

This is supposed to be free and accessible for everyone. We all have brains and can decide who to interact with.

If meta or any other company manages to create a better product it’s just natural that people tend to use it. I won’t use it, you may not use it and it’s totally fine! It’s about having options. Also as Mastodon’s CEO pointed out there’s no privacy concern, everything stays on your instance.

    If you pay attention to my response, I’ve said that if you close them now, considering how many users they’ve amassed in like 1 day you would have to join threads

    Yeah, that’s what the defederaters are advocating. You can’t mix Meta with the fediverse, because Meta will consume it. So if you want to participate in Threads, then you have to join Threads.

    Assuming the collective fediverse goes through with defederating from Meta, then there’s nothing stopping anybody from creating their own little niche in the fediverse that remains federated with Meta. I wouldn’t argue against that.
