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”.

    Let the user decide. If lemmy/mastodon user wants to block threads, let them. Defederating entirely is idiotic gatekeeping.

      When all the infrastructure is gone, let the user decide between starving and eating shit.

        That’s a terrible analogy. That’s like saying that Google running an email service ruined your email and the only solution is for everyone to block all emails from accounts hosted by Google.

        Threads federation doesn’t change anything about the rest of Lemmy or Mastodon.

        The absolute worst case is that it brings a ton more users into the fold, eternal September style.

      I agree with this myself. There are better ways of handling platforms than just defederating them instead of Defederating platforms it should be left to the user to decide who they want to block

      I totally agree! It’s unfortunate you’re being downvoted!

      These are literally people who want to make these decisions for you! Fuck them.
