I didn’t come to a new service just to see it get taken over by the corporate beasts who ruined the internet in general, and I am sure as hell am not going to use an instance that doesn’t care about its users.

I think the admin of this instance might have been paid off to federate with Threads, it being one of the most popular.

So, I am giving y’all 24 hours to defederate and if the Lemmy.world admins don’t, I’m-a bounce and close down my subs behind me

That is all

    Two thoughts:

    1. So there’s a bit of talk about Threads being a mastodon/microblogging type platform and so it doesn’t matter. This is somewhat wrong. Lemmy federates in a certain way with microblogging platforms such that two-way communication can and does occur between such platforms. However likely it is, when Threads turns on their federation they will be able to subscribe/follow and post to lemmy communities.
    2. Picking a server/instance on the basis of its moderations issues is basically the first idea or utility behind decentralisation. So … umm … continue on your merry way … this is the point. I know lemmy.ml has definitely defederated already.
