Meta threads will open federation to the fediverse soon, and while this is mainly to mastodon it will still affect lemmy. They are acting like they won’t be evil, but let’s be real this is Facebook when have they ever done that.

This article which has been trending lately explains some of the issues. https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

      Damn, what’s the point of a pact if people are being included without signing or even being notified? Makes me question the accuracy of the entire list.

      All I want to say is please do not let Facebook destroy us. It has destroyed democracies and got away with it because it has the money and nobody can touch it. We don’t know what their plan is but please be on the safe side. If they try to destroy us , we sure can’t do anything and will be scrambling for help at the last moment will he stupid AF. Better safe than sorry so there’s no point of “wait and see”. If all instances starts defederating then that’ll surely send them a message and they might stop wasting money on threads.net like they did with their VR bullshit.
