Meta recently launched Threads in a seemingly rushed state likely aiming to capitalize on Twitter's recent actions, missing features such as Digital Markets Act compliance and ActivityPub support.

Some communities have decided to preemptively defederate them as soon as that gets implemented under fears of them repeating what google did with XMPP by using "Embrace, Expand until no one else can keep up" tactics, while others have claimed those fears are overblown.

I think we're safe, but I wouldn't put it past those other lemmy instances to bend to the will of facebook to be facebook compatible.

If this happens, you might see the very first defederation from our end. lol.

Let's be honest, the first podunk blog to associate us with a corporate entity like Facebook is resulting in immediate defederation on Facebook's end. I'm overall cool with defederating any megacorp/government instance tbh.
