What would be the gain of spreading that message to people who are already browsing lemmy rather than Instagram? ๐Ÿค”

Meta is releasing threads.net which will (eventually) join the Fediverse.

It's a much bigger topic of discussion over on #Mastodon, #Calckey, etc.

Well, they THINK it will join the Fediverse. There's already a pact between a lot of larger instances to defederate them the moment they appear.

I don't know if there's a way to put up that warning, but only for people using Meta's app or coming from a Meta instance. Probably not, unless the developers put that in.

Yeah, for people using other clients or just on the web page, it's preaching to the choir, but if there's going to be a huge influx of Meta users, I think the newbies need some friendly education.
