Will lemmy.one be blocking Meta's fediverse content? (lemmy.one)

Context post at Mastodon.

Meta's activitypub Twitter/Mastodon clone will be going live under the name threads.net on July 6th (less than 24 hours from the time of this post).

Are there any plans for lemmy.one to join the FediPact in blocking all of Meta's bullshit? Considering this instance is built on the concept of privacy guides, with everything Zuck touches becoming completely antithetical to the word "privacy", I would feel it fitting for us to join the block. Meta can, and probably will, farm every federated instance out there for both user data and to populate their own monetized platform with content. They need to be contained.

This post also applies to anyone federated to this instance who sees this post. Contact your admins. Get Meta on the blocklist.

They can't get at us yet, since they are not launching with ActivityPub, which they will need to interact with the Fediverse: https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/05/adam-mosseri-says-metas-threads-app-wont-have-activitypub-support-at-launch/

We will have to make that decision at some point, ofc. I'm in favor of whatever keeps Zucc from getting his grubby little paws on anything I post.

you absolutely can defederate early. their user handles have to use the same domain because of how activitypub works so we can be pretty sure they'll try to federate on threads.net. lemmy.ml already added it to their blocklist and so did a few smaller instances afaik (mine definitely did after a short debate with the admins). it just gives you peace of mind.
