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".

but it will be a sanitised corporate safe space for advertisers

Posts on threads might be, but they can't force their standards onto posts or users on other servers. That's kinda the point of federation.

So, posts from Threads users will have to meet Threads "safe space" rules (because they are Threads users and Threads can require whatever it wants of them), but this means nothing for your posts on any other server. Worst case, Threads blocks you from visibility on Threads.

and ads sprinkled throughout.

Threads has no power to push their ads onto any federated server. They can show whatever ads they want on Threads, but those ads don't appear to anyone else and likewise they couldn't do anything to artificially make their content show up higher on any other server.
