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”.
Dumb argument is dumb. We need to defederate the internet! LAN not WAN!

Such a dumb fucking loser post.
Go be a paranoid baby by yourself, don’t try and create mass hysteria to ruin the community for everyone else.
rude ._.
I’m all for defederating, but only until we know what their intentions are. I’m more worried about Mastodon than Lemmy, but still, that’s not the point. The only power any of us have is to file an official complaint with the FTC and make a distinct point, not just “I hate meta/Facebook and want them to go away” it has to be a logical complaint such as “their terms of service are overstepping their boundaries and taking ownership of data on competing platforms that they do not own to lock out competitors.” It’s really the only thing anyone in the US can do.
I would hate for the fediverse to die by zuck the cuck’s hand, but the sad truth is open source is the enemy of corporate platforms, and it’s encouraging enough that ActivityPub is enough of a threat to Meta that they’re willing to go to these measures to make sure their bottom line isn’t harmed. The real fucked up thing is their intention to farm other platforms users with their consent and that’s the real problem.
Sadly i dsagree with you, nobary cares about this peace of junk (seriously, microblog without hashtags?). Also i think is fedverse is a great place in general and i trust in all instances moderators, and any bot or think like this have interesting in us. I don;t worry about, for me is one more day with meta bulshit, thatś it
Isn’t all this information already publicly available?
Meta is worse than gatekeeping.
Because Facebook is the posterchild for anticompetitive evil corporations.
They’re doing this because it will help them monopolize more content or more users. By nature, that will be harmful to the fediverse.
Maybe read abeut the EEE strategy (embrace, extend, extinguish). Gatekeeping is bad but this isn’t about gatekeeping
That's not really what gatekeeping means.
Lol no. That said, I’m on Threads too so whatevs.
Why not just let them choose instead of trying to get users to brigade them? Personally I want my insurance federated with Threads.
The preemptive strike is interesting. The cost will be a lack of knowledge. We know our enemy but we don’t know them on this terrain yet.
This function only blocks communities from an instance. You will still see posts and comments from these people on other communities. (And Threads users have no way to create a community on Lemmy.)
By all means, fuck Meta to the moon and back, but for goodness' sake, users on federated servers can choose to block the domain with the same result, not to mention that admins can simply restrict it (see social.coop/@eloquence/1115888…). It just isn't so black and white as people are making it seem.
Federation with a bigger platform is realistically the only way for Fedi to become mainstream, and at the moment Meta seems at least to be trying to be communicative. And with their quite unvaluable userbase they really don't have enough leverage against the privacy-concious Fediverse to turn AP into MetaPub. For now.
they are

I don’t like Meta, but that’s far from the worst corporate rights record. I say wait and see how it turns out first.
