What is SDF’s opinion on pre-emptive deferation with Threads?

I know SDF Chatter hasn’t defedded with any instance, but there is a serious risk of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish if we federate with Threads.

    I would recommend defederation. Meta has a long history of malicious information manipulation and helping drive the rot of the www.

    Beyond that, they boast a user count that is an order of magnitude greater than the entire fediverse. This sounds, like a recipe for mods burning out from trying to keep the firehose of bad actors under control. Not to mention the potential server impact of caching posts, images, etc.
