This shouldn't come as a huge surprise. Meta is moving forward with their plans for Theads and the Fediverse, and their adjusted terms reflect a new impending reality for Fediverse users.

There seems to be a general consesnus that feddiverse users don't want anything to do with meta and that instances will defederate with threads. I'm curious if the majority will follow this trend to avoid yet another EEE, or if there will be some exceptions. I bet meta will be open to pay good money to instance admins for "colaboration" if the instance is big enough.

if there will be some exceptions.

lemmy.world and mastodon.social decided not to defederate threads.

Defederating wouldn't prevent this. It's not how the protocol works. Defederating simply means you don't pull their data, not the other way around.
