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”.
Oh for fuck sake, can you to stop with the “what about XMPP” bullshit please?
The fucking protocol still exists. And none of you bandwagoning twats use it. But you constantly talk about it like it was stolen from you. In reality you don’t know what it is and use it as a strawman for your arguments.
Right now, download any number of XMPP clients and start using the protocol.
You don’t because you are part of the “big is bad” elitism trope. Just a bunch of pathetic wannabe underground elitist.
And advocating for open standards while excluding platforms because “big company bad” ideology is naivety.
Look at the history of XMPP, to give you a precursor of what to expect. There’s no naivety here. Those who don’t history are doomed to repeat it.

Thanks for making wild assumptions about what I use.
And also, incorrect usage of the strawman fallacy.
I hope you have a nice day :)
big company is bad
