MODERATORS
If meta makes special features threads only and once they have a corner on the market start defederating, it could suck other already decently popular services dry (mastodon) since they either move to threads or lose any connections they had on threads. In the end, a cool decentralized thing becomes just another corpo social network.
Sorry I'm fairly new to all this, does defederating mean you break connections to the larger fediverse?
Like I make a server that has 5 people on it and then defederate the server, those 5 people now can't communicate with the fediverse at large?
You don’t defederate your whole instance. You defederate from specific instances.
It’s basically like blocking a whole server, so if threads defederates from mas.to, users on either site can’t talk to eachother
