Will Meta's Threads app federate with other services?

3 years ago by Vupperware to c/asklemmy

If this is the case, I urge EVERY instance admin across all currently federated apps to blacklist threads.

If threads is allowed to federate with these apps, it will outweigh all contributions to these apps, and when Meta eventually defederates (which they will), the vast majority of the community will be lost.

PLEASE HEED THIS WARNING!

There are people in this community that are happy about the arrival of the new Meta app. Some instances will block it, but others will let the snake right through their front door.

It would be unreasonable and foolish to expect or try for 100% adoption. We're talking about humans, after all. We can defederate the fuck out of them though, cutting off both them and small Instances that attach to them. The Fediverse can then sort itself into the Zuck people and the independents.

Best possible scenario for us. All future tech giants that come into the space will simply attach to the larger Zuck version, which he will certainly come to dominate the development of. We just keep on chuggin, as a competitor.

We have to be vehemently, passionately and 100% uncompromisingly anti-Meta to get this to work though, otherwise we won't pull enough of the population.

Battle lines, folks, battle lines. This is internet war. We have someone worse than Hitler, for the time being. A personal foe that threatens us by his very proximity.

All we can do, however futile, is spread the word.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have fun

In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
