1. Meta/Facebook has a horrific track record on human rights:

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”.

According to what I’ve read, they haven’t implemented yet but you’ll have to opt in in the settings of a threads account to be seen on the Fediverse. In other words, it won’t be possible to interact unintentionnally with the Fediverse. So, Fediversians will be in a state of complaining in case of bad behaviours coming from Threads. https://kbin.social/u/@[email protected] @xigoi@fediverse
Interesting. But lemmy is not built to be a personal instance, more of a group thingy (I understand the complexity of it, and I like it, but there are things that will be hard to deal with computer-science complexity wise if one instance gets too big. That’s why I’m not just on board against meta/threads.net, but totally against it). In a nutshell Lemmy will thrive being lots and lots and lots of small servers with sub 100k users (probably 10k is a nice number? Or 35 because you like that rare thing).
Except if there is a mega meta instance…
Why would that change it?
Because it would drown out all the Lemmy stuff (sorry late replay, Christmas and stuff).
