Meta just announced that they are trying to integrate Threads with ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc.). We need to defederate them if we want to avoid them pushing their crap into fediverse.
If you’re a server admin, please defederate Meta’s domain “threads.net”
If you don’t run your own server, please ask your server admin to defederate “threads.net”.
There is no point to defederate threads.
If folks find the content on the instance I maintain interesting, I want them to join from whichever platform they feel most comfortable with. As long as they don’t cause problems, that is.
The fediverse’s worst enemy is itself. The persistent paranoia that people are out to ruin it is going to drive all the rational people away.
Nope, just ban threads and anything to do with facebook. All servers will defederate Facebook.
Have you actually tried using Lemmy from Mastodon or Twitter-like-focused ActivityPub server? It technically works, but through no fault of Mastodon nor Lemmy, it’s a pretty miserable experience. The feed is nearly impossible to use for communities that get frequent comments through the day.
There is a 0.00% chance Lemmy has anything to worry about. If Mastodon isn’t a tolerable client for Lemmy, Threads’ substantially worse feed management will be much more miserable and enough of a deterrent by itself.
We will not take the risk. All servers must defederate Facebook
