Transitive defederation – defederating from instances that federate with Threads as well as defederating from Threads – isn’t likely to be an all-or-nothing thing in the free fediverses. Tradeoffs are different for different people and instances. This is one of the strengths of the fediverse, so however much transitive defederation there winds up being, I see it as overall as a positive thing – although also messy and complicated.
The recommendation here is for instances to consider #TransitiveDefederation: discuss, and decide what to do. I’ve also got some thoughts on how to have the discussion – and the strategic aspects.

I feel like this was part of the Meta plan from the start. They know what they’re doing.
It was part of Meta’s plan for us to behave badly?
** Look what Meta made me do!
I could see it as being part of Meta’s plan to make the Fediverse fracture itself to make it easier to manipulate.
Definitely. My point is that it’s our own behavior that’s the link the chain, meaning we have an opportunity to not do it.
