1. Meta/Facebook has a horrific track record on human rights: - https://www.amnesty.org.uk/press-releases/ethiopia-facebook-algorithms-contributed-human-rights-abuses-against-tigrayans - https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/dec/06/rohingya-sue-facebook-myanmar-genocide-us-uk-legal-action-social-media-violence - https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/18/17587080/mark-zuckerberg-holocaust-denial-kara-swisher-interview 2. Meta/Facebook is trying to join the Fediverse. We need to defederate them. 3. If you're a server admin, please defederate Meta's domain "threads.net" (here's how on Mastodon https://fedi.tips/how-to-defederate-fediblock-a-server-on-mastodon/) 4. If you don't run your own server, please ask your server admin to defederate "threads.net". Your admin is listed on your server website's About page.

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 I don’t want the fediverse to become mainstream!!

    I know, I know, most people think it’s the best thing.

    But I selfishly prefer the fediverse to be as it is now. Actually, as it was a couple of months ago. Lemmy is already being filled with rage-baiting bullshit, which is one of the reasons I decided to leave reddit.

      I am 100% with you. Becoming mainstream is what ruins most good communities that end up ruined. Hell, even Facebook was a 1000x better before they opened it to non-college users.

      It really depends on the instance. There are many cozy, non-mainstream corners on the Fediverse. For instance, beehaw.org is as pleasant as can be.

        It really is rather selfish

        Uh, yeah. I already mentioned that.

            We disagree, and that’s okay.

                  All good points. I’m just tired of moving to a spot (slashdot, digg, reddit, etc) only for it to be invaded by the same toxic, race-baiting crowd. And I think in the fediverse that may occur way more often. Say, today I’m in Lemmy.world. Then I move to Beehaw. Then Reddthat, etc…

                  We shall see.

        Good to know. I’ll start blocking, then.

        Have you been on Facebook (or Xhitter) recently? Where “recent” is defined as “within the past decade or so”.

          • @ttmrichterEnglish

            You completely missed the point.

            There’s a HUGE number of ragebait posters on Meta/Xhitter because that’s what causes “engagement” and thus that’s what the Meta algorithms will foster. Bringing in Meta won’t dilute the ragebait. It will amplify it.
