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”.

    Every open protocol that survives past the first couple of days of actual use, no exceptions, has some mechanism whereby bad actors can be removed.

    Don’t use “open protocol” as your excuse for sucking Zuck the Fuck off.

      As I just said, I don’t like Meta. And keep your homophobic slurs out of civil discussion.

      But they are not yet a bad actor on the Fediverse because they haven’t actually joined the Fediverse yet. If you’re so convinced that they’re going to do something awful, why the big deal about defederating preemptively?

        You don’t like Meta. You’re just arguing vociferously for inviting Meta, a company with nearly two decades of documented abuse of everything they touch, into another space for them to fuck over.

        Pull the other one, Sparky. It plays Jingle Bells.

          There’s no need to invite Meta, the invitation has already been given by the fact that ActivityPub is an open protocol. I’m just very annoyed by the cavalcade of people who were so quick to tout that benefit over Reddit’s walled garden now turning on their heel and reacting “but not like that!” When that openness is made use of.
