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".

This is why I don't understand all the hysteria about this.

If I don't want to see Threads or I don't want Threads to see me, I can go to a Threads account and click "block threads.net".

But obviously that's too complicated and it's easier to just whinge to your instance admin about how Threads federation will be the death of us all. 🙄

If there was a bot that just flooded All with far right talking points, do you think admins ought to block that or leave it to the users?

What if it was far right mixed in with cat memes?

What if it started more slowly like a few posts an hour and then ramped up over 6 months to be 1000s of posts per hour?

Leave it to users. Let people decide what they want to see.
