Should sh.itjust.works preemptively defederate from Threads?

Threads is the not-so-new reddit-like twitter-like public forum platform by Meta, the same commercial company behind internet behemoths like Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp. They’re working on ActivityPub integration so that they can bridge (federate?) with the fediverse. As far as I know, the focus is on Mastodon instances, but in the future that could include Lemmy instances too.

Some have raised the question, worried about the future of the fediverse or even claiming that it goes against its definition.

What do you think should be done?

EDIT: correction

EDIT.2: The Vote is on! Go make your voice heard. You have until Friday the 29th.

    oh shhh…people, today is friday, the day to open up votes here in The Agora. but this discussion has only been up for less than 2 days

    is it too soon to start a vote? should we wait for the next week? i don’t want to press anyone but feel some urgency about this issues since, in case we defederate, it should be done at rhe start od this process, it seems to me
