1. Meta/Facebook has a horrific track record on human rights:

2. Meta/Facebook is trying to join the Fediverse. We need to defederate them.
3. If you're a server admin, please defederate Meta's domain "threads.net" (here's how on Mastodon https://fedi.tips/how-to-defederate-fediblock-a-server-on-mastodon/)
4. If you don't run your own server, please ask your server admin to defederate "threads.net". Your admin is listed on your server website's About page.
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”.
That’s a terrible analogy. That’s like saying that Google running an email service ruined your email and the only solution is for everyone to block all emails from accounts hosted by Google.
Threads federation doesn’t change anything about the rest of Lemmy or Mastodon.
The absolute worst case is that it brings a ton more users into the fold, eternal September style.
I agree with this myself. There are better ways of handling platforms than just defederating them instead of Defederating platforms it should be left to the user to decide who they want to block
Let the user decide. If lemmy/mastodon user wants to block threads, let them. Defederating entirely is idiotic gatekeeping.
i would agree normally, except when its a monolithic company trying to federate
When all the infrastructure is gone, let the user decide between starving and eating shit.

I totally agree! It’s unfortunate you’re being downvoted!
These are literally people who want to make these decisions for you! Fuck them.
And these are the people who talk about FREEDOM and FREEWILL. They just don’t understand. 🤦
