I agree, but I’ve changed my stance to a wait and see approach. This is what we think will happen, will probably happen, and what I’m interested most of all in, is how Lemmy.world responds once things come to pass. I’ve got agency here to switch to another perfectly good instance that doesn’t federate with Threads, so if Lemmy.world allows social toxicity to prosper…I’ll just leave. The Fediverse rocks.

Facebook is a little too late to the game to get any credit.
