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".

You might not understand how they are going to control it, but they do. Facebook doesn't do anything without a plan on how to either get a ton of money from something or a plan on how to destroy that thing. So the fact that they are trying to integrate into the fediverse means they have a plan. They are smarter and more evil than anyone here in the area of making money and destroying competitors, and they will 100% do one of those things, probably both.

So basically your argument is "they are Satan but I have no idea how they could actually do anything. But they are Satan!"

They're a known bad actor and embrace, extend, extinguish is a demonstrated method for eliminating platforms like fediverse.

Give me an example on how they would be able to "extinguish" the fediverse then. This entire thread is full of people saying this slogan, yet nobody has explained how a free open source software would even be susceptible to any attempts at "extinguishing".

Why are you defending Zuckerberg?

Remember when Mark Zuckerberg Called People Who Handed Over Their Data "Dumb Fucks"?

I'm seriously starting to think Lemmy is being filled with shills. It's the only logical reason here

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes, filled to brim with shills. Totally not paranoid people who can't even explain how facebook could ruin the fediverse in any way.

If he wanted your data, he would have gotten it already. It's not hard to scrape the fediverse at all.

All that would happen is more people would join the fediverse, nothing more. But by all means, be scared, defederate from everything and enjoy your small bubble with 3 active users.

Your rationale is truly bizarre and somewhat worrying but I won't spend too much brain power trying to understand. Cheers to you anyway and happy holidays

Yeah because you are not here to understand, you are here with a blanket "meta bad" atitude. When the "let's wait and see" stance is one that you are scared of, there is no chance of talking in good faith with you
