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”.
Facebook / meta has too much history of abuse. OTOH I don’t think it’s necessary to fully defederate, but setting a server defaults per-account to filter their instance would reduce their influence and risk of abuse while still allowing people to opt in to connecting to them

Which still doesn’t mean fedi should cooperate with meta or any other big tech, I dare to say not even with any company.

This is not cooperation, this is take over by meta. So far I see most fedi users are aganist federation with meta, I’m glad that’s the case.

Same story as XMPP
Expecting the kiddies to actually learn from the past is too much. Because human beings in general don’t learn well from the past.
