I think defederation isn't the solution. Am I dumb in thinking this could actual have a mutual benefit?
Just an example: I will never use Threads, but if I can communicate with them from my Mastodon account, I would like to have that option.
I wouldn't call you dumb, but naive yeah. I don't trust anything facebook does and them trying to get involved here is just another shot at unethical data collection. The content on all their sites is shit and sinpleminded so imo nothing they do should be welcome here.
There needs to be a Mozilla-like foundation that builds a competitive product platform for Fediverse that looks slick, is free of bugs, and matches any additional features that Threads might come up with
Don't use it.
I say we should just let Threads fail through its own doing.
I don't think we should defederate threads. It would only give Meta a walled garden which we will be outside of. Let them embrace us here and encourage everybody to scatter across instances so they can't defederate reasonably
Can Lemmy.world go read-only? I think the biggest threat that can actually be handled is a bunch of shitty Facebook users making shitty, angry comments in lemmy.world threads. letting Threads read and display Lemmy.world content, but not comment would solve this.
There are other important threats from Facebook, but this one can actually be solved.
Here is how to block threads on Mastodon, if anyone has any ideas for how to do it on Lemmy, that'd be great.
Right now? Have a Lemmy account on an instance that defederates anything Threads.
I am kinda curious to see how federating with it would actually work. I.e. what kind of content would actually end up in my "All" view, the usual facebook trash or actually interesting stuff? And would there maybe be interesting communities on it?
