I would support this defederation as well. We don't want their kind here.
I support this, meta is evil
I support this, zuck is evil
Tbf his species might have a different concept of good and evil
A little late to the party. I was on board with defederating until I read this comment on another instance's meta community and it completely changed my mind.

tl;dr: Defederating doesn't benefit us at all and just makes more users move to Threads, or at least an instance that hasn't defederated.
I think this makes a good point about defederation being an unnecessarily dramatic step, but the poster also describes various steps instances might take to protect content and users without actually dropping the portcullis. It's difficult to welcome Meta users (desirable) without welcoming Meta's corporate interests (undesirable).
Lemmy.one should not federate with threads, and if it does I'm definitely finding another instance. There is no reason to give meta the benefit of the doubt and let them federate, they have proven time and time again that they act in bad faith and only exist to steal people's information for resale, while encouraging racism and xenophobia.
They can't get at us yet, since they are not launching with ActivityPub, which they will need to interact with the Fediverse: https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/05/adam-mosseri-says-metas-threads-app-wont-have-activitypub-support-at-launch/
We will have to make that decision at some point, ofc. I'm in favor of whatever keeps Zucc from getting his grubby little paws on anything I post.
you absolutely can defederate early. their user handles have to use the same domain because of how activitypub works so we can be pretty sure they'll try to federate on threads.net
. lemmy.ml already added it to their blocklist and so did a few smaller instances afaik (mine definitely did after a short debate with the admins). it just gives you peace of mind.
Absolutely! Corporate quarantine.
Fantastic way to put it.

As we have free will here, I support it to.
It's time we do have natural social network without corporations and mass profit!
Sorry Zuck, it's not fun with you.
