2. Meta/Facebook is trying to join the Fediverse. We need to defederate them.
3. If you're a server admin, please defederate Meta's domain "threads.net" (here's how on Mastodon https://fedi.tips/how-to-defederate-fediblock-a-server-on-mastodon/)
4. If you don't run your own server, please ask your server admin to defederate "threads.net". Your admin is listed on your server website's About page.
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 best thing about the fediverse is that people can come in here, shoot their shot, and if they are reasonably violating the spirit and culture they can be defederated. What are you afraid is going to happen if Meta gets a foothold? Do you think it’s going to attract toxic users? Do you think we’re going to get brainwashed into ignoring Meta’s bullshit?
