This was not unexpected as Facebook has history of poor moderation and deliberate spread of misinformation.
If you're an instance owner or admin you might want to consider again defederating from Threads and joining the Fedipact
Wouldn’t it make more sense to move to a server that federates with Threads so that you’re not at a whim of Meta but still able to talk to people there? The point of social networks is communication with friends and those might not be so eager to jump. They might even hear from you how other servers and apps are better and move eventually :)
yep. this is exactly why i wont defederate threads. i want to give those users an option, but still be able to talk to their friends.
theres a bunch of ... people.. who think that meta will somehow take over the activtypub protocol and fuck everyone over, but that just cant happen with the consortium as it is.
the only thing people have to fear from meta on the fediverse is a better interface attracting more users than other servers... and if you cant solve that you deserve to fail
This has already happened with federated services (XMPP)
It's not a conspiracy, there is proven history of EEE techniques being successfully used to capture an audience and then destroy the adoption of the protocol.
your premise seems invalid on its face. i would argue that google did not, actually, kill xmpp. that protocol is still in use today, its just not popular.
again, the biggest problem the fediverse has is just threads having a better product on the same, open protocol. eee? ha, whatever

That won't happen to Fediverse because nobody here is willing to be 'captured' and 'destroyed'. We don't give a fuck if Threads wants to break its own protocol.
