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".

In favor of defederation. If I start seeing garbage from threads in my feed, I'm switching instances. I don't want Meta pushing their divisive, hateful, misinformation all up in my feeds. Meta will kill fedi. We don't need them.

Yeah. I'll switch to an instance that is defederated from Threads, if mine doesn't.

I left Meta's other properties to avoid state sponsored hate speech. I won't use a platform that gives hate speech a platform.

I don't need to wait to know if Meta will do that. I already know.

I'm onboard with this as well. I can't imagine this instance would federeate with Threads, and I respect the admins here a lot, but I'd lose that respect and trust immediately if we aren't smart enough to defederate from Threads. We've seen what happens when these tech giants get their claws in anything.

Serious question though - how would you? Meta can't push content in your feed. The only reason you're going to see Meta in your feed is if the community here (or people you follow on mastodon) decide they want to show it.
