LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 8 months agoSerious question: how do we - the end users - stop federating with Meta?
Migrate away from instances that embrace Meta to those that do not. Choose an instance that aligns with you.
Or in the extreme case, if you’re the first who can’t find such an instance and you’re technically inclined, there’s your room for a new instance. It’s how the fediverse works and partly why Meta is so intent on destroying it.
How does one find a list of instances that aren’t federated?
Replied in another comment, but here is is again. fedipact.veganism.social
Appreciate the link! Glad to see that both my mastodon and lemmy instances have already blocked their content.
I don’t know, but you can check individual instances by going to the /instances subdomain and searching for threads.
shjw and blahaj are defederated, world isn’t.
This can always change, but I have confidence in my admins.
Unfortunately there is no explicit list, but I believe there are tools that will draw a graph of the fediverse and allow you to check that a particular instance does not. I’m not sure what the name is off the top of my head.
Naturally, if you see anything posted direct from Threads in your feed, that means your instance that you’re connected to is passing that data.

Move to an instance that won’t.

Burying your head in the sand doesn’t change the fact that whatever LW does will affect all of Lemmy. They’re too big.

This is a strange response for me because de-federating is an active step on behalf of its admin, usually after a vote amongst its users, at creating a virtual boundary between the two entities. How is that burying your head in the sand? And yeah, lemmy.world is big, but aside from the obvious loss of content/users, what other effect will that have on the mass of de-federated instances?
