How about Lemmy.World?
The admins stated on Mastodon that they're not going to defederate until something happens. Knowing Meta they shouldn't give them the chance.

Thats unfortunate. I'll be moving instances then. Giving Meta a chance is a lot like giving a mosquito a chance to not suck your blood.
This behavior is why the fediverse alienate users and makes it hostile for new people to join.
They didn't do anything, yet. Give them the chance but start with 2 strikes on their account already. They fuck up, THEN you defederate. Innocent until proven otherwise.
Edit: go on, downvote me. Show me your face. Show me how you're all against growth on Lemmy and niceness to each other.
Corporations like Meta have shown time and time again that they cannot be trusted to play nice with anyone else. Have we already forgotten about Cambridge Analytica or the plethora of other scandals they've been at the center of? The proof has been in plain view for a while now.
They don't get more data because they're federated. They literally the exact same amount of data as they do know just by scraping mastodon or Lemmy. They're an even player in this market. Somehow you all keep forgetting that. If you don't want meta do have data from activity pub, you being here already violates that ideal.
Okay, but that doesn't address any of the points I brought up.
You said to give Meta a chance. The rest of us are broadly gesturing at all the shit they've done in the past, and how we want as little to do with that as possible.
There is nothing they can do to fuck up your experience, ESPECIALLY on Lemmy though. Threads is a completely different concept from Lemmy and activity pub is well defined.
The only thing they could do is just not moderate threads and therefore putting spam in everyone's feeds. That's about it. I don't think they're leaving that unmoderated.
Oh, looks like I’m switching instances.
And done. I love federation.
