Why should we defederate from threads genuine question? They can’t control us can they? Or is it because it would ruin many instances due to the amount of users posting content on threads resulting in many threads post on home feeds here on Lemmy?
Eh, they aren’t federated yet and even if they do, I don’t really see a point in having less content by blocking them server wide.
Can’t you just block it individually if you don’t like it?

Made an account here because of it; lemmy.world was my first server and I'm fairly against any federation with meta or any tech giant. Tolerance paradox applies here too!
Just wanted to ask, but how do you defederate a non federated platform like threads? Does it just block the website and its links on this instance?
Edit: nevermind apparently they also used ActivityPub so it makes sense. But as a non microblogging website like lemmy that is more like reddit than Twitter, what does defederation mean?
Pretty sure it just simply means content won't cross over in either direction.
I switched from my lemmy.world account to this one because I assumed this instance would defed from meta.
I'm running a small Gotosocial based instance and will be defederating simply because I'm afraid of the bandwidth and general load when like there is 1+ billion new users federating via Threads.
looks like the high and mighty took the bait:
They even federate exploding-heads.com
