Plans to pre-emptively defederate from threads? (slrpnk.net)

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.

It only relates to a single issue with Facebook, but I highly recommend the documentary The Great Hack.

tl;dw: Cambridge Analytica manipulated the 2016 US election, the Brexit vote, Ukraine's 2004 election in which they supported pro-Russian Viktor Yanukovich, and various other elections, and they got their data mostly from Facebook, who was complicit, and even cooperative.
