Should sh.itjust.works preemptively defederate from Threads?

Threads is the not-so-new ~~reddit-like~~ twitter-like public forum platform by Meta, the same commercial company behind internet behemoths like Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp. They're working on ActivityPub integration so that they can bridge (federate?) with the fediverse. As far as I know, the focus is on Mastodon instances, but in the future that could include Lemmy instances too.

Some have raised the question, worried about the future of the fediverse or even claiming that it goes against its definition.

What do you think should be done?

EDIT: correction

Nay, not worse than some instances already in lemmy and exposure is two way, but looking at the results, it seems I’ll have to create an alt on some other instance if I want to participate with the bigger communities of Threads.

It’s funny that shit like this gets automatic defederation and not the way some admins behave, make bullshit up, and leave links up to instances they claim have pedo content instead of reporting it to the competent authorities. Just like Musk, they make Zuckerberg actually look good in the shit comparison. But people only want to see what they want to see, specially when it involves someone who puts on a very different face when they interact with them.
