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".

Please explain how federating with Threads is "supporting Meta" and not the opposite.

I’m not sure if federating will help meta so much as it will definitely (most probably) hurt the lemmy/mastodon network.

Here’s a similar case that happened before, with the XMPP protocol being coopted by google but eventually killing it in favor of their own proprietary solution:

Big tech isn’t on our side, and we have to handle outside corporate influence with heavy skepticism.

XMPP still exists and doesn't have any fewer users than before Google adopted it.
