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.

You're complaining about ads that are being pushed on you by an algorithm from ad companies. I'm telling you there are no ad companies. Seems relevant.

Nothing prevents them from doing that right now.
