Meta threads will open federation to the fediverse soon, and while this is mainly to mastodon it will still affect lemmy. They are acting like they won't be evil, but let's be real this is Facebook when have they ever done that.

This article which has been trending lately explains some of the issues. https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

This comment here is a simple analogy if you can't be bothered reading the article. https://lemmy.ca/comment/5702922

Are you planning on signing up for a Meta account? Their rules won't affect anyone who isn't using their instance.

It's not how it works, I believe.

We are as regulated as 4chan.

If they get federated with other big instance, their mil+ audience wouldn't only bring their own shenanigans, it would bring attention from regulating bodies - for one, and for two - Meta's want for control over how fediverse is operated.
