I see your point of trying to help everyone communicate with each other. However, as has been pointed out repeatedly in the last few months, the threat of a 3e strategy (embrace, extend, extinguish) applied by Meta is imo very real and dangerous to the whole fediverse. That’s why people want to defederate threads. And when large corporations use their huge userbase to make everyone else’s life harder and peer pressure you into joining them then that’s on them. I mean, there is a reason we few people are here on the fediverse. For most it’s probably making the effort to stay away from those privacy-invading, controlling corporations and create something by the people for the people. I get that it is tempting to be able to reach the masses stuck in platforms like Facebook or Instagram. But this comes with the real threat of destroying what we’ve build here. Restraining from federation doesn’t cost us anything though, as we’ve already made the decision to get together here in this small community.
