1. Meta/Facebook has a horrific track record on human rights:

2. Meta/Facebook is trying to join the Fediverse. We need to defederate them.
3. If you're a server admin, please defederate Meta's domain "threads.net" (here's how on Mastodon https://fedi.tips/how-to-defederate-fediblock-a-server-on-mastodon/)
4. If you don't run your own server, please ask your server admin to defederate "threads.net". Your admin is listed on your server website's About page.
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”.
Technically correct but imo not addressing my point:
Even if something gets forked, every time the divide gets deeper and less „social“. The reason why an EEE attempt makes sense is to weaken a competing service with potential. Its enough to weaken it for the devs to eventually lose patience and stuff breaks down.
Because if a million users sees the light and leaves, they have a million instead of the 10 they had before. That is a massive step backwards which took years and years to accomplish.
