We know that Threads will federate with at least one Mastodon instance — either Universodeon or Mastodon.social or maybe nite.
But we know that even Mastodon.social has a more laissez-faire approach to general conduct than Meta — stuff that would get you Zucc’d (eg sexuality) do not get you banned on MS; while having a a stricter line on hateful conduct — stuff that is apparently okay on Zucc (like being a bigot) is not okay on MS.
My concern is that if a major instance is to federate AND abide by Meta in order to get the Zucc Bucks, then they will need to change their moderation policy in order to line up with Zucc.
That is to say, if anyone is going to be on the Federating Instances, then I would imagine that their relatively wide gamut of free expression will suddenly have to narrow to accommodate a Puritanical Silicon Valley mindset of moderation.
