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”.

    Defederation is part of the protocol.

    At least make your rhetoric somewhat resemble reality? Please?

      They’re confused and likely think that federation means no rules and unconditional access to any server from your account, when it couldn’t be further from the truth. I’ve said it elsewhere but people craving that don’t want the fediverse, they want Nostr.

      This place is the way it is, why it’s enjoyable to be on, because we can and do defederate servers run by bots, trolls, or any other malicious actors, otherwise they run wild.

      Yes, and I’ve got nothing against defederation. Once there’s actually a reason to defederate.

        Nearly 20 years of Facebook abuse is apparently not a reason.

        Holy fucking shit is the attention span of humanity getting short.
