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”.

    Do you have the money to enforce those rules? Because meta certainly has the money to get people to profit off what they want.

    You will lose. EEE/enshittification will happen. To think otherwise is naive.

      Well, I already defederated so I‘ll just scream into to void and hope some peeps hear me.

      Because gay rights (as example) also were „never gonna happen“ at some point. We just need to keep on pushing.

      What a stupid line of argumentation. You will obviously always lose if you don’t push back

        Stupid?

        Cynical, sure…Pragmatic even, but not stupid. I don’t have rose tinted glasses that so many fediverse adherents seem to have about this platform. I see the corporate world taking what it wants. They may not snatch it up quickly, but they sure as hell can engage in the EEE slow grind and get what they want eventually.

        Sure, fight. We might be able to carve out a piece that remains free. But if they want to commercialize it, they will, and there will be plenty of instance owners that will jump on the bandwagon to make $ or just defray costs.
