So, what is Leminal Space's policy on de-/federating from/with Meta instances? (mstdn.social)

Threads are making gestures toward federating with ActivityPub. That opens for a ton of new fedi users, but also gives Meta leverage over the policies and access to user information on independent servers.

See the linked post for arguments in favour of defederating from threads.net altogether. My question is in the title, where does Leminal Space stand on this?

Having thought more about this issue over the past couple of weeks, and having read some of the arguments of others (Erin Kissane's persuasive blog post in particular), I have reconsidered my position on this and cannot in good conscience allow this instance to federate with Threads or any other Meta entity. Defederation is effective immediately.

Yeah, the Kissane post is pretty damning. I've been waffling between my original anti-Meta stance and maybe waiting for them to misstep, but she fully convinced me that they've already shown us who they are.

Thank you for this decision, I think it's the wisest choice.
