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.

    Great thing about the fediverse

    People get to decide what they want from their platform

      Surely you’re aware of the embrace, extend, extinguish corporate strategy.

      People only get to decide what they want from their platform until facebook starts extending the spec. Then your client will become incompatible with some posts, and so on and so forth.

      In summary, it’s a threat to the platform itself.

      Exactly, I hereby decide that I would like to ignore corporate efforts to undermine this burgeoning new platform. I furthermore reserve the right to complain about the loss of said platform in future years by claiming that it’s everyone elses fault for allowing corporate encroachment.

      They don’t get to block instances yet.

      The ability to block Instances/Threads by user would make this a non-issue.
