Personally I think Facebook should face as much pushback as possible, unless we want them to do to this what Google did to XMPP.

From this article, it sounds like Threads won’t have ActivityPub federation enabled from the start. While I don’t want my entire feed dominated by brands and celebrities on Threads, I’m not convinced we should jump immediately to defederation. One of the reasons why I joined on this instance was the low defederation count. I’d lean more toward “wait and see” for now.
Yeah, they aren’t using AP federation right now.
I think we should be treating Facebook as an edge case when talking about defederation. It’s not like any other AP instance, due to it’s size and who is behind it (a monstrous, privacy destroying megacorporation).
