I saw in the posts recently how Metas thread grew rapidly in a span of just a day. I understand that since threads posts a privacy nightmare (no surprises there) I’m leaning towards de-federating with them.

But I am also cautiously excited about the massive amount of content if we federated instead.

So for purposes of discussion, may I know the pros and cons of federating with threads?

I saw the double post and immediately deleted the second one. The one you replied to was the one I actually deleted, but it looks like the delete didn't federated to you. That's really scary actually if you can't guarantee that you can delete stuff on Lemmy. If I rant about something in the heat of the moment and say something I regret, I can't guarantee that I can remove it.
