I don’t think Threads need the fediverse to survive or thrive.
And correct me if I’m wrong but I think Mastodon’s biggest instances don’t mind federating with Threads.
Why on earth would they be interested in federating with meta??
A lot of them are taking a "let's give them a chance" stance which is fucked because we have over a decade of social media history as to why they've already spent that chance and cannot be trusted. There's also the fact of Meta meeting with Mastodon instance admins and having them sign NDAs if they agree to talk.
I won't be on an instance that federates with them, personally.
There is more then a century of proven 'companies lie for profit and will do anything upto and including global genocide to increase their bottom dollar'
Never trust a company when they provide their goals.
This just keeps getting worse and worse.
Is there any mention of which instances have committed to NOT federating with Meta?
This is the only list I know of currently.
