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

Idea of Fediverse is to provide decentralized network of social servers connected to each other. Defederation is an optional feature if some instance would go rogue. For now, connecting with Threads is not against Fediverse, it's the opposite. Connecting with Threads fullfills the idea of Fediverse.
Disagree, federating with meta will kill the fedi. It will put all power in big tech.
He's just some paid shill. They've been infiltrating Lemmy for months. Don't even waste breath arguing with them. Just downvote them, jot down their screennames and warn others not to listen to them. Arguing with them directly is what they want so they can convince others there's a legitimate debate to be had.
l o l, how you deduce I'm a "paid shill". you sound more like paid shill tbh, even you probably aren't
edit: now I see i probably i misunderstood you, sorry
It's all good. I am talking about the shill you were getting goaded by, not you. Don't sweat it; it happens.
How it will kill Fedi? Many people here are against big corporations so they will never quit Lemmy instance to move to Threads. But connecting to Threads will bring many new users. We can teach them the great power of Fediverse. We can communicate with each other despite having data on separate servers and anybody can choose an instance that is closer to their beliefs and opinions.
Same how google killed xmpp, how big tech killed email. Meta and big tech are just too powerful and they can destroy, takeover fedi with resources they have.
Last time I checked XMPP and e-mails are working just fine. I don't know what you mean. How exactly Meta will kill Fedi?
With xmpp you could chat with people on messenger just by having xmpp account somewhere else. Now you cannot. And no email is not working just fine, self hosting email is hard now beacuse you are getting blocked if you are using big tech servers.
XMPP has it's own problems, not really pleasant user experience etc. But yes, facebook first embraced it the cut you off anyone you had on messenger.
If this happens, meta will takeover fedi.
I really don't understand this. We want to block them now, because they will block us later and this will kill Fediverse. I don't see a point really. Wouldn't blocking them kill Fedi even faster? As far as I know, Lemmy is slowly losing it's users. Letting them in will only strengthen Fediverse.
Now, fedi then develops in autonomus manner, as much as possible. There are problems with centralization on fedi even now without meta.
Letting them in will only help meta EEE(embrace, extened, extinguish) it.
