They will come here (edit: They HAVE come here) with a goal of exploiting and controlling the fediverse. You and I don't have to know how they will do that in order for it to be true. Scrubbing links to a product that competes with Instagram from threads seems like a decent start though.
I mean I am completely unsurprised by their misbehavior, I’m just slightly more optimistic about our ability to resist them.
That said, the one danger I can see is Meta gaining more authority over the activitypub developers. That is probably something worth being vigilant about.
What form would such resistance take if not advocating loudly for defederation?
