The worry about EEE is actually not my primary concern at the moment. And it's not data collection either, though I hate what Meta is doing there.
I'm not interested in Threads "content" on my front page here. And boy will it ever be all over the "All" page thanks to Threads users outnumbering all of the Fediverse by many magnitudes. The poor algorithm is not going to show you any new Lemmy content anymore with all the engagement Threads posts is going to get.
Then there are the comments in communities here. If you've felt happy that this community has better atmosphere and discussions than the dreg you'd be served on Reddit, just wait until we open the door for hundreds of millions of Facebook commenters.
I love the community that is building on Lemmy. If I wanted to participate in the community on Meta I'd be on Instagram or Facebook or Threads.
But I don't. That's why I'm here.
Thats fair and completely understand. I feel it should be the users choice to block the content they don't want to see as opposed to a complete cut off for all users but from previous comments I've gotten, that is not possible yet. Maybe within the apps it would be possible atm but if the only way to not see the content is to defederate, then that makes sense to me.
I do still feel that for the bigger mastodon.social and lemmy, they should not defederate since most new users will go there and if they dont want to see the flood of Thread posts, then they can move to a group that defederated.
