To the admins- will lemmy.world block Facebook's Threads or are you open to federating with them in the future? (lemmy.world)

Many of us do not trust Facebook and anything it is associated with or swallows up.

EDIT:

"Instagram head Adam Mosseri said "

““Soon, you’ll be able to follow and interact with people on other fediverse platforms, such as Mastodon. They can also find people on Threads using full usernames, such as @[email protected].””

“We’re committed to building support for ActivityPub, the protocol behind Mastodon, into this app. We weren’t able to finish it for launch given a number of complications that come along with a decentralized network, but it’s coming,” he said.

“If you’re wondering why this matters, here’s a reason: you may one day end up leaving Threads, or, hopefully not, end up de-platformed. If that ever happens, you should be able to take your audience with you to another server. Being open can enable that.”

There's a tonne of comments saying about EEE but people need to be aware that EEE is famous for not being successful

Microsoft themselves who coined the term gave up on the approach after a number of unsuccessful attempts

Isn’t Threads federating with Mastodon, not Lemmy?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

There is "one" fediverse. Any instance using ActivityPub can talk to any other instance using ActivityPub for the most part. Depending on details, you may get a degraded experience (like mastodon trying to view Kbin wouldn't work super well). Honestly, there probably won't be too much federation between Lemmy/Kbin instances and Threads. They're not very similar in use.

I feel like this is entirely against Lemmy.world's ethos of "a general-purpose Lemmy instance of various topics, for the entire world to use" (emphasis mine). I for one joined this instance exactly because they didn't have a ban-happy federation policy like some of the other big ones. I understand people's concerns, but if you want a "fuck corporations" walled garden instance, I feel like there are better homes for you somewhere else...
