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”.

    What I still don’t get is the amount of evangelists and fanboys back them among very competent or geeky people.

    Competent - pretty important developers in FOSS would simp for those companies (I’m not talking about employment, but about really just simping).

    Geeky - it wouldn’t be rare to find a Gentoo user simping for Google or Apple.

    It’s as if it were some madness spread in the air.

      Just cause someone is competent or intelligent, doesnt mean they are smart or wise.

        Yes, wisdom is an underrated trait ; popularity of making fun of such a thing as “Unix philosophy” among *nix users doesn’t help.

      There’s people on both sides of every fence who get there through circumstance rather than cognizance.
