Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net.

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".

the general strategie is called "embrace, extend, extinguish". This strat is the reason, why everyone uses MS Office today
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish
that reminds me of Apple with iMessage
A failed messaging system that nobody in the world uses except for the Americans?
How sweet.
Well, yes, I think that's the one.
I think you upset the americans đ
I'm not American and I still downvoted the asshole. Sorry. Assholes.
I'm not following... who is american and who is an asshole
That's absolutely in your right to do so.
Would you mind if I ask you what did I say that's considered an asshole move?
As opposed to Threads stealing all brands companies and users anyway?
Thereâs still advantages to a fediverse and ways to defend against âembrace extend extinguishâ if you plan ahead.
We canât complain about proprietary networks if we donât allow others to join our own open ones.
The extend-phase is when people migrate to threads, who would have stayed otherwise.
And why would you expect there to be many such people? Iâd assume the intersection of people who like the Fediverse and people who like proprietary social media to be pretty small.
Why are people not allowed to do that if they want to?
You think groups that came here largely fleeing Reddit and Twitter are going to be tempted to go to threads? I doubt it very heavily. Threads is more likely to loose people to here if anything.
