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".

Then go join threads.net? Nobody's stopping you from doing that. That would put you on a server friendly to your beliefs.

Server admins also have opinions, and are not required to take a democratic vote and each individual user's choice into account. They can decide for themselves, and they will, for good or ill. If you don't like where it ends up, your user decision should be to fuck off to threads.

    I don't think that's what they're saying.

    They're saying that some users and admins might choose to wait and see

    "Yes, Jeffrey has, in the past, killed and eaten gay men. But we should wait and see. It's impolite not to invite him to the party!"

    I don't want to use their platform, but I get why some people might choose to stay federated so that there is incentive to pull people to mastodon and educate people about the issues

    There's enough nuance there that I'm not dead set on either side, and I think we still have the chance to defederate later if there's an increase in spam and harmful content / disinformation.

    I don’t want to join a proprietary service, but I want to be able to communicate with people who chose to join it.

    They are not free because they deprive you of your privacy.
