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”.
Someone disagreeing with you isn’t shilling.
I’m not sure why there’s so much concern about hostility being a new thing when Threads comes in. Responses like the ones you’ve replied with demonstrate the existing userbase already has a few toxic apples.
