I just saw that lemmy.ml has pre-emptively defederated from threads. Are there any plans to do that here? I personally want nothing to do with Meta/Facebook, and I'm sure that's not an unpopular opinion around here.

edit: y'all, please pay attention to where you are when coming from all.

edit again: kbin really ought to make a post's home instance more clear.

I was hoping someone was going to ask this here.

Ultimately, I will support the decision of our gracious host, whose time and money has made this instance possible. But I do not care to interact at all with Threads/Meta and I do not believe their presence on the fediverse is anything other than an attempt to either monetize it or potentially make it obsolete

Agreed, 100%. And thanks for putting it more eloquently than I was able to, haha!

I mean... he's a developer, not a deity. I appreciate that this is a space he made, and he can do what he wants. But I'm also free to leave if he decides to federate with a Zuckerberg product.

Not trying to be rude or anything, but you're not even here. This isn't kbin. This is a specific meta community for this instance, slrpnk.net.

That's, uh... that's a good point you got there. I still get confused by the whole federation thing lol

I went and found this thread on kbin.social, and I'm gonna put the blame squarely on them. It was extremely unclear that this thread was on another instance, and really the only way I was able to tell was by looking at the URL.
