Context
- List of instances defederating from Threads, the Meta microblogging platform: https://fedipact.veganism.social/
- At the moment, Threads have incomplete federation with Fediverse microblogging instances: https://fediversereport.com/last-week-in-fediverse-ep-86/
- Another meme about Threads: https://feddit.uk/post/18194873
- Threads does not currently federate with link aggregators (Lemmy, Piefed)
- Threads could work with the microblogging part of Mbin
The main arguments for people to defederate are
- "Embrace, extend, and extinguish" strategy: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html
- A potential federation with Threads (should Thread decide to implement it) would overwhelm Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed with millions of users (compared to the 40k monthly current active users), transforming those platforms into a threaded version of Facebook
- Defederating preventively costs nothing
LW stance: https://lemmy.world/post/1274909?scrollToComments=true
Its possible to convince me to move to another instance if anybody can recommend one with the following:
Anti-Tankie sentiment/rules/regulation (fuck those fake communists flooding the feed with spam 24/7)
Fairly active community
General use instance, not one with a specific agenda
But otherwise I guess I'd probably just stop using lemmy altogether when threads hits World.
Sopuli.xyz has blocked both lemmygrad and hexbear. You can block lemmy.ml in your user settings, that should set you up.
About the active community, not sure what you mean, as exporting and importing your settings would keep you subscribed to the same communities that your current account, and sopuli is large enough to have the same All feed than LW
"fairly active community" in this context means more than just 100 accounts moderated by 1 guy in a basement with a lot of spiders in it
No offense intended to that man and his 100 users, just doesn't seem like a very good longterm solution. Much of the internet today is transient and impermanent.
Sopuli has 479 monthly users. It is in the top 20 most active instances: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy
