Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads

I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.

Imagine blocking hexbear and allowing Facebook.

Fuck lemmy world

Imagine going out of your instance to a community on one you hate just to post hate about it. What happened to blocking and moving on

Still dont know how federation works eh?

I do, but what I don't understand is subscribing to a community on an instance you hate. Or did you not realize that this is a Lemmy world community?

What difference does it make?

It's like driving to a city just to get out of your car and shout why you hate that city, then leave. It's just like... why not go somewhere else then and move on with your life?

Imagine thinking a few hundred people you disagree with is worse than a mega-corp manipulating information for profits.
