Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads
I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.

By that logic, and I'm not disagreeing, then any time we defederate, like from explodingheads.com or hexbear.net, then we are just limiting options.
The flip side to Federation is defederation. It's not Federation if there isn't the option to defederate. It's one of the core features of the protocol.
No that's different because hexbear and exploding heads posts and users will show up in our feeds and users have to block. Now that lemmy has instance blocking on an individual level there is much more room for federation.
