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”.
Censorship is a valid moderation tool when used appropriately, I don’t understand why people can’t understand this. So yes, congratulations, they are promoting censorship, which is a good thing in this case. thankfully someone isn’t in the “omg freeze peach” club that is neutral on literally every topic in the entire world no matter how incredibly a bad idea it is.
A lot of people absolutely support censorship in the case of keeping literal garbage and spam out of their feeds, but a vocal minority scream about censorship as if it’s always a bad thing and should never be used.
All federated servers also have a defederate function. It was added to ActivityPub for a reason, and that reason isn’t to be never used because of some sacred idea that servers have to be 100% open, innocent until proven guilty, when that is a moderation model that has failed time and time again.
