Found this post super informative as it relates to Mastodon, and thought Lemmy might also benefit from this perspective. I'm not sure I share his optimism, but his points seem sound to dampen some of the alarm bells over Meta joining the Fediverse.

As a small instance, defederating from Threads could do more harm than good. Denying users access to a potentially large amount of content could cause them to move on.

If you’re concerned about them slurping your content, don’t be. They can just easily set up an instance at billjoejimbob.com and slurp it indirectly. They very likely already are.

I doubt people joining small instances would miss any content from FB/Instagram/Threads/Twitter

The content on reddit is huge but I cut the tie and happier with Lemmy.
