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".

yeah, but I didn't want more brain damage sifting through accounts over there lol. but still, when you have a 100 million mau, there are going to be a ton of bots, especially when there are next to no moderators.

I've barely ever used threads, in a large part because they don't have a fully functional website and require use of an app. So I have no idea.. I assume there's some quality content but I agree that it must be flooded with BS too. I'd be interested in seeing what a Lemmy instance connected to threads looks like. I assume it would wreck browsing 'New'.

I’ve used threads since it was released out of curiosity, and it’s so far got some of the best moderation I’ve ever seen.

No joke, it seems like they are trying their best to make it as friendly and wholesome as possible.

So many women and minorities uplifting and helping each other, it was honestly quite shocking.

On twitter, I sometimes spend a couple hours just reporting hateful people, and only one or two reports ever gets acted on, everyone else seems to get a pass to hate.

But on Threads, I’ve yet to even need to report a single post, it’s kinda eerie.
