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".

Look, I hate Meta as much as the next person, but they really don't have that much leverage over the Fediverse as people are making it seem. It is completely optional to follow their accounts so they have little direct control over people's feeds, not to mention that their active userbase is quite small. I'd say a better approach is simply restricting interaction by making it opt-in in all ways, just like social.coop.
