A lot of people dislike it for the privacy nightmare that it is and feel the threat of an EEE attack. This will also probably not be the last time that a big corporation will insert itself in the Fediverse.

However, people also say that it will help get ActivityPub and the Fediverse go more mainstream and say that corporations don't have that much influence on the Fediverse since people are in control of their own servers.

What a lot of posts have in common is that they want some kind of action to be taken, whether it'd be mass defederating from Threads, or accept them in some way that does not harm the Fediverse as much.

What actions can we take to deal with Threads?

It's a clear EEE attack. Do not federate!

I agree. If I want to see "VIPs", influencers, ads or other crap like that I can still register an account over there. Also Meta's track record is horrible..

It's not easy to make an account unless you port over your Instagram account. I attempted to make two separate accounts, and both were suspended instantly and I couldn't continue unless I uploaded a selfie. But I didn't really want to use my name ¯⁠\⁠(⁠◉⁠‿⁠◉⁠)⁠/⁠¯
