The recent excitement surrounding Thread's arrival on the Fediverse is concerning. To understand why this is not a good idea, consider their economic interest in harvesting data, their poor moderation, and their manipulations. Nothing good can come from their federation. Don't roll out the red carpet for them.

@diondokter @davidrevoy not necessarily, some instances require an authenticated API to access anything. they also want to integrate into our social graphs so they can get leverage over us
