What is SDF's opinion on pre-emptive deferation with Threads?

I know SDF Chatter hasn't defedded with any instance, but there is a serious risk of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish if we federate with Threads.

I freely admit that I don't know that much about ActivityPub or SDF infrastructure, but the issue of server load bothers me. Threads is huge and has all of FB's CDN behind it. The SDF crew are great, but this strikes me as a potential DDoS-level threat. Someone who knows more than me, please put my mind at ease.

Small or huge doesn't matter much, it isn't sending everything it sends what people subscribe to.
