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”.

    Threads said that they’re going to be opt-in. Each user will have to actively enable federation, so all this scary news seem a bit pointless to me.

      Yes, for now. There is discussion to make it opt-out, which Eugen advocates for. Also, if it remains opt-in, very few people there actually have any reason to opt in, which is quite fishy because that means they are trying to keep their silo. Either way we should treat them with caution.
