What they’d possibly do is things like stickers, custom emoji, etc that’s locked behind a license and only viewable on Threads. Thats the type of “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish” that’s feared.
If one leaves lemmy for Facebook’s custom stickers then I don’t think anything of a value was lost there.
I hope everyone willing signs up to Threads so we have all the shit in one bucket which we can then toss away and keep doing our own thing.
This is very possible, and it is important to remain cognizant of this possible goal. However, I think it is ultimately our responsibility as members of the fediverse to ensure that we are making the non-Meta communities interesting and engaging.
Ultimately, if an instance does become toxic to the principles of another instance, then de federation always exists as a nuclear option. 🤷♂️
