Server indexes of places for newcomers to join can be instrumental for Fediverse adoption. However, sudden rule changes can leave some admins feeling pressure to change policies in order to remain listed.

    Facebook has and it’s doing plenty bad. At this point, assuming this time they will be good is too much of wishful thinking.

    Still I would let the instances decide. Seems a bit counter spirit to try to force them. Even as a user your can block them (there are two that a lot of users are blocking already…)

      Its probably good to federate so that Threads users can leanr about alternatives and migrate to a better instance on the fediverse

        Just to be clear, threads can federate with an instance that is not defeated with them, and in this case threads users can see all the Lemmy content, but not the other way around.

        So this means that we can just keep posting anti Facebook content all the time and they will serve it to their users or will have to be blocking it.

        The more I think about it, the worse it seems for threats to federate.

          Right, so that means when someone on Threads is complaining about Threads, Lemmy users can’t chime-in and say “uhh, just register on here and thats not an issue, guy”

            Well, meta plans to federate with at least some instances… Right? Else their users won’t be able to speak either.
