I’m seeing a lot of people badmouthing Facebook/Meta and saying we shouldn’t federate with Threads.
Mastodon.social is owned by Mastodon gGmbH and run by the *author* of Mastodon. Mastodon.social federates with Threads. If Facebook/Meta were toxic, do you think they would? Of course, not.
Facebook/Meta has Mastodon’s author’s (& the original Mastodon server’s) seal of approval. So you should all shush because clearly you’re mistaken.

@aral I've seen a lot of people try to bully Eugen into not federating with Threads. That's not a good look. Don't help them.
@dusnm I can’t bully the largest Mastodon instance in the world to do anything. Bullying is what the powerful do to the weak, not the other way around.
@aral I'm sure you know I meant, don't help people bully Eugen, the person, not mastodon.social.
@dusnm Again, you’re conflating calling out the largest mastodon instance and the CEO of Mastodon gGmbH for legitimising a known bad actor and exposing vulnerable people on mastodon.social to Facebook/Meta with “bullying”.
Maybe consider what the power dynamics really are here and whether or not you’re punching up or punching down.
I’ll leave you to it.
