TL;DR: The common view on Meta’s Threads is that it will be either all good or all bad, leading to oversimplified and at the end contra productive propositions like the Fedipact. But in reality, it’s behaviour will most likely change dynamically over time, and therefore, to prevent us getting in a position, in which Threads can actually perform EEE on us, we need to adapt a dynamic strategy as well.

      A group of people who want to stop private companies from running lemmy/mastodon/etc instances.

        Not private companies. Abusive megacorporations who absolutely don’t have good intentions.

        There are plenty of private companies who wouldn’t face, well, really any pushback.

        Stop strawmanning.

          Like a GPL for a protocol? You can’t really license a protocol. I think that would be patents.

          And software patents are a bad idea.

          So, in my opinion, no.

        Nope, nobody wants (or even could) stop corps running instances. Fedipact is a number of instance admins (too few, in my opinion) that prefer to defederate their instances from those run by scummy Facebook and the likes. Some people is on the Fediverse specifically to avoid stuff managed by the Elons and the Zucks.
