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".

Short-sighted advice from people who don't understand the purpose of ActivityPub.

Yes allowing corps into the Fediverse is very short-sighted.

While I'm cool with blocking threads.net, "we should block all corps from the Fediverse" doesn't make sense and that's a bad cause to focus on

It's fine if an instance wants to make that their policy, the fediverse gives an instance the freedom to do so, but it would provide little gain for a lot of annoyance

Other bad reasons:

"Meta can spy on us": they can do that even without threads.net, and federating makes little difference there

Do you understand what corporations do?

[-] otter@lemmy.ca -5 points 11 months ago

I've got some understanding yes

I think most people here have a similar sentiment around corporations and big tech companies, which is why we're on this platform and why we donate to keep them run by nonprofits
