I asked and enough of you answered that allowing to federate with threads.net
even for the lolz would be considered too risky for y’all.
So I’ve gone ahead and added threads.net
to our blocklist.

Man. As if Threads would even care. Due to their connection with instagram, they will automatically become the bigger content aggregator anyway. Why would threads even risk federation with platforms they do not control - and then they get sued if some moron on some instance posts questionable shit and some snowflake user on threads sees it. I’d bet Threads was never supposed to be federated. They just made use of a pre-existing software, just as truth social did. Why work hard, if the software is already there?
Furthermore threads is not even competing with Lemmy and Reddit like alternatives. I do t get all this fuss about threads. Everyone is suddenly so anti corporate, even though big corporations had a big part in what the internet is today.
In the future Defederation will just strengthen the position of bigger platforms. People will sooner or later be unhappy with the rather low amount of content and move to bigger platforms (that will eventually by controlled by corporations)
Staying federated is the smarter decision, as users will stay on smaller instances, since they have a big pool of content from other instances, including corporate instances like threads or similar.
You’re making the mistaken assumption that everyone wants lemmy to “win” social or something.
I don’t want that at all. I want meta users to stay at meta. I don’t want lemmy posts to be manipulated by meta users.
If we wanted to be a part of Facebook we’d be there. And since we’re not there we don’t want Facebook to be here. This is why many instances don’t want to be associated with them. Also no, corporations didn’t have part in the making of internet. They had a part in profiteering of our data and the internet. Being anti-corporate is only a sensible decision one can make in today’s world.
Lmao, what a bootlicker
Lets try to not throw names around and keep civil please. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, even if we dont agree with them
Yes, but everyone is entitled to call people idiots when they’re spouting idiocy.
Facebook already had a walled garden with Instagram. They didn’t need to use ActivityPub. If the weight of their usercount was enough to make everyone to switch to it, people would have switched to it. And yet,the fediverse is thriving outside of their influence for a reason. Facebook is not opening up their walled garden for no reason…
To put it simply Meta is way more problematic than Reddit, so makes zero sense to leave Reddit then go running off into the arms of Meta. So stand up job. Hilarious seeing Zuck’s astroturfers trying to poorly convince people it’s a bad idea to not hold hands with Meta.
I agree 100% with you here. Also his user history reveals that he is literally a bootlicker.
You sound like someone who no one wants here, why not just move to threads full time?
Because I want Lemmy and mastodon to compete with threads and Meta.
I want a
Then that makes you the only one, you lose that vote
