- List of instances defederating from Threads, the Meta microblogging platform: https://fedipact.veganism.social/
- At the moment, Threads have incomplete federation with Fediverse microblogging instances: https://fediversereport.com/last-week-in-fediverse-ep-86/
- Another meme about Threads: https://feddit.uk/post/18194873
- Threads does not currently federate with link aggregators (Lemmy, Piefed)
- Threads could work with the microblogging part of Mbin
The main arguments for people to defederate are
- "Embrace, extend, and extinguish" strategy: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html
- A potential federation with Threads (should Thread decide to implement it) would overwhelm Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed with millions of users (compared to the 40k monthly current active users), transforming those platforms into a threaded version of Facebook
- Defederating preventively costs nothing
Hexbear? EW.
Also they don't actually federate anything, especially not with Lemmy as federation with Lemmy is fucked up even with mastodon, misskey and basically all the other services. Kbin was the only somewhat working other service, but from what I've seen its abandoned.
I came here to tell you that [email protected] is actually quite nice. I was going to say, by the way, that I also went there to talk with them about politics recently, got about the reaction you'd expect, and peaced out, but as long as you don't do that, you can enjoy the nice artwork.
And then, I realized that I haven't seen any of the art for a few days.
Yep! My whole instance is defederated, I think. I wrote a total of five messages.
I think they're a little thin-skinned lol.
Not worth it.
Absolutely not worth it and I'm staying in my savespace they defederated. We are better.
They told me to tell you, "The bloodthirsty liberal lanyard status quo warriors aren’t inviting Hexbears to the wine cave. What a loss."
They also threatened to stab me with an icepick. Why not an ice axe? That would have some history behind it.
Can you tell them they should keep themselves save from me please.
Also they defeated my instance, because they are right wing idiots larping as left wing and they can't stand anime.
To be fair, anime is kinda sus, Bonerman... as the kids say these days.
