The fediverse is discussing if we should defederate from Meta's new Threads app. Here's why I probably won't (for now).

(Federation between plume and my lemmy instance doesn't work correctly at the moment, otherwise I would have made this a proper crosspost)

There's peer pressure going on right now encouraging Mastodon instance owners not to federate with Meta's Threads. How is that not gatekeeping?

Gatekeeping is keeping someone without access/power on the outside. People who are already running instances have by definition passed the gate.
