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”.
They may be overwhelmed by visitors from Threads and then Meta pulls out and they’ll all leave.
People who would register on normal instances or threads would only use Threads because of being lazy and then be lazy after Meta pulls out.
Isn’t this already the case? I find it unlikely for someone to find Lemmy without having developed a dislike for platforms owned by big corpos.
… And then they can use it through Threads, and over time forget something and move to Threads, and then oops. Such things happen. Humans are not principle-driven nor should they be.
I think you misunderstood me. I’m saying that whenever someone finds out about Lemmy, it’s because they’ve already sworn off Facebook, Reddit and other big platforms.
Do you think such a person will go back to a Facebook-owned platform just because it happens to federate?
You do get tired of being sworn off. You come back to try them if it’s easy.
You don’t seem to be like me.
