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".

Same how google killed xmpp, how big tech killed email. Meta and big tech are just too powerful and they can destroy, takeover fedi with resources they have.

Last time I checked XMPP and e-mails are working just fine. I don't know what you mean. How exactly Meta will kill Fedi?

With xmpp you could chat with people on messenger just by having xmpp account somewhere else. Now you cannot. And no email is not working just fine, self hosting email is hard now beacuse you are getting blocked if you are using big tech servers.

XMPP has it's own problems, not really pleasant user experience etc. But yes, facebook first embraced it the cut you off anyone you had on messenger.

If this happens, meta will takeover fedi.

I really don't understand this. We want to block them now, because they will block us later and this will kill Fediverse. I don't see a point really. Wouldn't blocking them kill Fedi even faster? As far as I know, Lemmy is slowly losing it's users. Letting them in will only strengthen Fediverse.

Now, fedi then develops in autonomus manner, as much as possible. There are problems with centralization on fedi even now without meta.

Letting them in will only help meta EEE(embrace, extened, extinguish) it.
