IMHO defederating from Threads is like an upstart email service blocking their users from being able to email Gmail users because they don’t like Google. That might seem fine on principle, but in reality it just siloes people from their friends—and makes joining the other service more attractive. 🤷‍♂️

If we want people to use and discover the goodness of Mastodon, we should federate, and then let ’em know how much nicer it is over on this side—all while being happy we can interact w/our friends.
