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".

No, that's not a core concept of Fediverse, that's exactly the opposite. You want echo chambers? There are plenty of them already. It should be the user who decides what content to see and with which instances to interact, not instance admins.

Imagine Chrome not allowing you to visit specific sites and then Firefox not allowing you to visit a different set of sites. That would be a death of the web.

Imagine a worse, less fitting analogy

You can literally spin up your own instance in 20 minutes and see every instance ever if you'd like, it's a choice and its good to have

You can build your variant of Chrome yourself as well. Analogy is fitting.
