My prediction is that this will be even less effective than the reddit blackout protests at actually accomplishing anything. It'll just make people feel like they're sticking it to the man without actually doing anything.

Well, depending on how well-moderated the Facebook thing turns out to be (I would not be particularly optimistic, though you never know) you avoid subjecting your users to all sorts of unpleasantness.

I'm keeping an open mind, for now (though I'm pessimistic, because, well, it's Facebook, and Facebook are _bad_ at this), but I may end up moving instance over this (either direction; maybe threads is a net benefit but my instance defederates, maybe it's bloody awful but my instance doesn't).

I actually see this as an upside of the federated approach; I get to choose whether I want exposure to this.
