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”.
No, the entire point is that you’re free to go to whatever instance you want and/or host your own with your own rules. You’re more than welcome to go to one that doesn’t defederate, just as every instance owner/admins are free to defederate. It’s not how “the fediverse is supposed to operate” because a standard for how the fediverse is supposed to operate doesn’t exist.
