Are we defederating from Threads? (lemmy.ca)

I've seen that some instances have already done it preemptively.

For this reason I tend to lean towards defederating because I genuine don't think your average Facebook user brings much value here - quite the opposite.

I just feel like people don't quite understand what defederating actually does and I don't claim to undestand either. However the little that I think I do undestand leads me to believe defederating isn't going to "cut them out" the way we're hoping. They can still see all the content here.

From what I understand, if we defederate from them, they can't see our posts either. See what happened when Beehaw defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works .

They could still be see the content by creating another instance, or by getting it from lemmy.ca directly. I doubt they'll do that though, especially with Lemmy. Lemmy communities look weird when seen from mastodon, and I doubt they'd look much better from threads.net.

Also I hate how they called it Threads. That's already a word used for other things in this space. Theres a thing called the threadiverse, and it doesn't include Facebook/meta/instagram threads?
