I don’t have any firm opinions yet. I definitely feel the knee-jerk temptation to not federate with them, but on the other hand I guess federated Facebook products is pretty much what I want from them.

I don’t care about Threads very much (at least yet), but I know a lot of people where my only way to get in contact with them is Facebook Messenger. So if I could contact them without needing to have a facebook account myself, I’d be quite happy.

I haven’t done as much camping yet this year as I’d have liked, but I did an amazing camping trip in Banff where we managed to snag a spot in Two-Jack Lakeside, a gorgeous little campground right in the forest on the side of a beautiful and calm lake.

At the time, all of Alberta other than Banff was blanketed in smoke and under a fireban, but Banff was exempt from the fireban so we even got to have campfires and such which was really nice.
