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".

Are you planning to pay for the extra bandwith to deal with all the additional traffic?

Meta will.

And then when they own the servers amd all the traffic, lemmy will be quietly murdered.

Quietly, because they'll control the traffic, and therefore the narrative

That's just...not how any of this works.

Today no.

Come make your instance on Meta(tm) it's free(tm)!! Its fast! It's yours!!

Then later they'll wreck havoc on our small servers making them slow and unreliable, making their servers even more interesting for people. And so on.

And that's just one way among lots of ways.
