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".

If you don't give a shit abount Facebook enabling genocide, amplifying white supremacism or, you know, selling milluons of users' private data to the Kremlin, then sure, why not.

This isn't about elitism, this is about a known bad actor threatening to harvest our conversations without our fucking permission, or using Microsoft's tactic of "embrace and extend" to destroy the competition.

Anyone can implement ActivityPub. We have no problem with that. Facebook is a corporation whose business strategy has consistently been about harvesting users' data and selling it to political advertisers.

Even if you defederate they can harvest the data.. I mean it's an open protocol.
