It’s worth noting that this still splits Mastodon pretty much in half.
Not half, much less than that is blocking Meta. It seems the split is ideological, which means there will likely never be a fediverse where we’re all together, alongside Threads. I speak of experience, I went straight to AUTHORIZED FETCH and whitelist on my masto as soon as I saw how many just didn’t care. But I don’t care about Zuckerbots dropping out of my field of view and they’re probably happy they don’t have to deal with someone as paranoid as me; believing that Meta would exploit us given the chance. So, win win?
It’s not just ideological. Many people and instances on the fediverse have minorities using them. These minorities rely on it to share and discuss in safe spaces. The federation of threads is a threat to these safe space.
