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".

If Kbin defederates from Threads, I'll just leave Kbin, and stay with Threads. Defederating over vibes is not how the fediverse is supposed to operate. And for everyone advocating for this dumb idea, I'm just using this thread as a honey pot.

I’m pretty clear that meta has more problems than “vibes”.

No, the entire point is that you're free to go to whatever instance you want and/or host your own with your own rules. You're more than welcome to go to one that doesn't defederate, just as every instance owner/admins are free to defederate. It's not how "the fediverse is supposed to operate" because a standard for how the fediverse is supposed to operate doesn't exist.

fediverse isn't supposed to have most users concentrated in one instance also

Big tech is a cancer on the internet. It makes sense to avoid it.

Once they can interact with your account, they can pull your data into their server and analyzing it to deliver ads campaign.

They can already do this by hosting a small instance and going unnoticed.

They can get the data, but they need the federation so people see their content/advertisement.

And whenever an account from Threads upvote/ downvote or reply to your comments/posts or vice versa, Meta will analyze that and they can sell ads based on your political leanings, gender, geo-location, hobbies, marital status etc.

That's the options from what I saw from fb ads dashboard years ago. If you're from US, that options are broader and more detailed.
