The fediverse is discussing if we should defederate from Meta's new Threads app. Here's why I probably won't (for now).

(Federation between plume and my lemmy instance doesn’t work correctly at the moment, otherwise I would have made this a proper crosspost)

    I guess there are different opinions about what downvotes are for. Personally I think they shouldn’t reflect if something matches my opinion but if it’s worth reading. For me, a downvote says “this is badly written”, “this is rude” or in general “this shouldn’t be on people’s front page”. I will gladly upvote a post/comment that contradicts my personal belief if the author put effort into it.

      That’s fine. Fwiw I don’t even have a button for it on my instance. You shouldn’t assume everyone is going to share your usage though, in fact I think most people don’t.
