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".

Oh look, more elitism posts.

So you want an alternative to large closed source proprietary platforms, but don't want to allow anyone who doesn't use it via a "preapproved" list of providers?

The level of irony in these posts is astounding.

It only relates to Threads, exactly becaise they are an enemy of freedom.

Just as you can't afford to tolerate intolerance, you shouldn't give freedom to thos who want to strip it away from you.

There's nothing of elitism in that.

Honest discourse for the purpose of highlighting any possible issues and fortifying against the EEE process. (Prepare for war; hope for peace):

Let's say they were able to join... (We should at the very least go over this possibility, as it can also help our admins decide.) How would we be able to protect our network?

Would making sure any features of one instance/app be open and able to be modified and/or gracefully integrated into another be an option? (similar to the GPL license) An example would be keeping a party from restricting access to a private network only through their app. (looking at you, gTalk and iMessage)

Any other suggestions?

Could threads generate so much data that it costs to much to keep an instance/server running?

In my opinion all big player are just federating to destroy the fediverse or take it over. Why else would they be here? There is just no need for them to be here exept to kill competition before it gets to big.

"Everyone everywhere should federate."

"Not like that!"
