Why I probably won't defederate from Threads (plume.helios42.de)

The fediverse is discussing if we should defederate from Meta's new Threads app. Here's why I probably won't (for now).

(Federation between plume and my lemmy instance doesn't work correctly at the moment, otherwise I would have made this a proper crosspost)

This is why I use a paid host for Mastodon. Six bucks a month gets me my own instance with a custom domain and full admin rights.

There are three of us on said instance, and only two of us are active. It's easier to build a consensus that way. Absolutely none of us want to federate with anything Meta/Facebook. I preemptively blocked threads.net yesterday. To quote Khan Noonien-Singh:

"Let them eat static."

Which host are you using btw? If you don't mind sharing that is.

[–] artair 4 points 1 year ago

I use masto.host for my instance. They even give you a web GUI for all the settings. Makes hosting so much easier!
