I think Lemmy should defederate from threads for the simple fact that I don’t want to read mastodon or threads post on my Lemmy feed anymore than I want to scroll through twitter from the reddit app
This is what has caused an incredible amount of confusion for me. Are we defederated from Mastadon? Because if not, I see near zero Mastadon posts. Why would Threads be any different?
No, Threads wouldn't be any different, there'd be a negligable effect on Lemmy. Just insane amounts of FUD going on.
Mastodon, however, might end up in a bad place.
Wait, I'm supposed to see mastodon posts here?
My understanding is that the fediverse allows some inter-project communication so you can interact with different types of fediverse projects with the same account with some fiddling, but really the best experience for each is with a dedicated account on an instance for each service
