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”.

No but really, do you take your email server offline when a new server comes online? This is the same thing. Kinda dumb.
I’m all for defederating instances that are built to cultivate hate. Defederating against what may be one of the largest instances on the fediverse simply because of the corporate backing seems a little antithetical to the goals of the fediverse at large. To be clear, I’m all for defederating against threads if there’s reason to do so - if the instance shows a reason to do so. For instance, if threads becomes a instance that just spews hate, and the mods of the instance can’t get it under control, then defederate! Otherwise, it just seems a bit reactionary for no good reason.
