The main arguments for people to defederate are

  • “Embrace, extend, and extinguish” strategy: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html
  • A potential federation with Threads (should Thread decide to implement it) would overwhelm Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed with millions of users (compared to the 40k monthly current active users), transforming those platforms into a threaded version of Facebook
  • Defederating preventively costs nothing

      Democratic National Committee. The organizing machine behind the Democrats.

      Take all the worst people in the world who still wear the blue hat, put them in charge of one of the most important tasks in the world, and make sure to pay them huge amounts of money even when they are failing harder than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest, and what do you get? The DNC. They’re the ones that got rid of Bernie Sanders and brought us Hillary Clinton instead.

        Ok, thanks for the explanation.

        I think I speak for everyone when I say we’ve had enough of US politics to last us several years.
