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".

Yes, but the point you're trying to make doesn't make sense. The content subscription model for both of these are completely different.

On Twitter (erm, I bounced shortly after the X shenanigans...) you subscribed to people and mostly saw tweets of people you follow, and the tweets they re-tweet, so it's heavily individual-curated.

On Facebook you "subscribe" to people and groups. Because your feed is mixed between people and group posts, you're still getting a mostly-curated feed from friends, with algorithmic posts from groups. In the last few years they started blending in posts from groups/pages you aren't in if your feed doesn't have much content.

Lemmy is entirely different. You only subscribe to communities. The curation is moderation style and upvotes. Individual people can guarantee their way into everyone's feed by posting to the most active communities.
