To the admins- will lemmy.world block Facebook's Threads or are you open to federating with them in the future? (self.support)

Many of us do not trust Facebook and anything it is associated with or swallows up.

EDIT:

"Instagram head Adam Mosseri said "

““Soon, you’ll be able to follow and interact with people on other fediverse platforms, such as Mastodon. They can also find people on Threads using full usernames, such as @[email protected].””

“We’re committed to building support for ActivityPub, the protocol behind Mastodon, into this app. We weren’t able to finish it for launch given a number of complications that come along with a decentralized network, but it’s coming,” he said.

“If you’re wondering why this matters, here’s a reason: you may one day end up leaving Threads, or, hopefully not, end up de-platformed. If that ever happens, you should be able to take your audience with you to another server. Being open can enable that.”

If they have any access to data through federation they could have just quitely made a small instance and stolen all the data. So while I 100% won't be creating an account over there, and might block the instances myself, I don't see the need to proactively do it.

I can’t even interact on lemmy.world with my mastodon.world account. Is it really worth worrying about Thread accounts being able to interact here?

I have a feeling Thread is never going to bother with ActivityPub anyway. I suspect the threat was only ever a hedge in case Thread wasn’t as wildly successful on launch as it turned out to be.

In case Lemmy.world doesn't defederate, I need an instance recommendation. Preferably something active. Not lemmy.ml and beehaw.org, I'm not going back to those. Anyone got any ideas?

[–] Metallibus 2 points 2 years ago

I'm aware of the beehaw drama... But what's the issue with lemmy.ml?

Yes please block them, I don't want Meta poisoning Lemmy. If I wanted to see facebook content I would have a facebook account, I don't.
