Meta’s activitypub Twitter/Mastodon clone will be going live under the name threads.net on July 6th (less than 24 hours from the time of this post).
Are there any plans for lemmy.one to join the FediPact in blocking all of Meta’s bullshit? Considering this instance is built on the concept of privacy guides, with everything Zuck touches becoming completely antithetical to the word “privacy”, I would feel it fitting for us to join the block. Meta can, and probably will, farm every federated instance out there for both user data and to populate their own monetized platform with content. They need to be contained.
This post also applies to anyone federated to this instance who sees this post. Contact your admins. Get Meta on the blocklist.
Lemmy.one should not federate with threads, and if it does I’m definitely finding another instance. There is no reason to give meta the benefit of the doubt and let them federate, they have proven time and time again that they act in bad faith and only exist to steal people’s information for resale, while encouraging racism and xenophobia.
A little late to the party. I was on board with defederating until I read this comment on another instance’s meta community and it completely changed my mind.

tl;dr: Defederating doesn’t benefit us at all and just makes more users move to Threads, or at least an instance that hasn’t defederated.
I think this makes a good point about defederation being an unnecessarily dramatic step, but the poster also describes various steps instances might take to protect content and users without actually dropping the portcullis. It’s difficult to welcome Meta users (desirable) without welcoming Meta’s corporate interests (undesirable).
I support this, meta is evil
I support this, zuck is evil
Tbf his species might have a different concept of good and evil
I would support this defederation as well. We don’t want their kind here.
They can’t get at us yet, since they are not launching with ActivityPub, which they will need to interact with the Fediverse: https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/05/adam-mosseri-says-metas-threads-app-wont-have-activitypub-support-at-launch/
We will have to make that decision at some point, ofc. I’m in favor of whatever keeps Zucc from getting his grubby little paws on anything I post.

Absolutely! Corporate quarantine.
