Someone should make a post about why blocking Threads is good and why it’s not to be confused with gate keeping.
If not properly communicated, this could look very badly for the uninitiated and they’re not to blame.
Some people of course have an educated opinion against blocking, but many presumably don’t know the reasons behind it.
I feel like that one instance not blocking threads should exist, like a common ground where people can interact and maybe convert threads user to leave big corpo and join us
It is gatekeeping, but gatekeeping in the way of “Stop corporate offices in this town” and not “Stop people who we don’t think worthy from getting in”.
Please don’t treat facebook like a “decent corporation which only committed honest mistakes”. It sold users’ data to corporations, to the Kremlin, allowed users to be specifically targeted by extremist right-wing propaganda and spread disinformation about various international affairs.
Furthermore, there is absolutely zero guarantee that Facebook won’t scan OUR posts for training AIs.
It’s a known bad actor. Allowing Facebook into the fediverse would be as ludicrous as allowing Russians to live and establish bases in the US during the cold war.
This is a great example to explain it to people who are familiar with the topic.
But if I tell that to a “random” friend, word for word, they won’t know what I’m talking about :D

As for why blocking threads is good, please google “Facebook Cambridge Analytica”, “Facebook russian accounts” and “Facebook fake republican accounts”. Also: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/facebook-knew-radicalized-users-rcna3581
