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".

the general strategie is called "embrace, extend, extinguish". This strat is the reason, why everyone uses MS Office today

As opposed to Threads stealing all brands companies and users anyway?

There’s still advantages to a fediverse and ways to defend against “embrace extend extinguish” if you plan ahead.

We can’t complain about proprietary networks if we don’t allow others to join our own open ones.

The extend-phase is when people migrate to threads, who would have stayed otherwise.

Why are people not allowed to do that if they want to?
