Zuckerberg requesting and being given the your intimate personal information, isn’t really the same as s Zuckerberg plan to make information on a Meta social network readable from another social network, but sure. I’m not saying Meta is trustworthy, I’m saying let’s see what they do. Having a way for people to interact with people on Threads, without having to join Threads could be quite useful.
It’s a bit of polemic that suggests that the main reason for blocking Threads is that is full off appalling hateful content. I haven’t used Threads since in initially signing up, so I had a quick look and it wasn’t particularly toxic, as far as I can see. If it is - and that content comes across, that is of course good reason for instances to block it - and I’m sure they will. Meanwhile I was amused to see on Threads the same debate been handled from the opposite direction:
There’s plenty of justification not to federate beyond the extremism, from the unethical experiments they conduct on their users to their aiding in genocide.
OK. Personally, I’m quite interested in it from the opposite point of view. I’m working with a large public body in the UK, who currently use Twitter and I’m attempting to get them interested in setting up their own Mastodon instance as an alternative. (Twitter embeds don’t work on their public websites any more).
Having the potential ability to reach Threads users is certainly helping me persuade them about thinking about the move to Mastodon - and not Threads.
Lol dumb nerds are the worst. In our company they hired bunch of devs who built the app before the deadline thinking they will get promoted and now most of them are redundant and one works in support.🤣🤣
Wait a see what they actually do. Mad idea, I know.
Man, I can’t believe the hot stove burned me, again!
Maybe next time will be different…

I forgot about that quote haha. That’s such a great retort to this “wait and see” approach.
Pay attention @Ruud, this is what Mark Zuckerberg thinks of you.

There’s no reason to wait.
Look right now, and see that there’s enough justification to say no to federating with Threads.
