[Discussion] Pre-emptive Threads defederation

The Agora · 10 months ago

Should sh.itjust.works preemptively defederate from Threads?

Threads is the not-so-new ~~reddit-like~~ twitter-like public forum platform by Meta, the same commercial company behind internet behemoths like Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp. They’re working on ActivityPub integration so that they can bridge (federate?) with the fediverse. As far as I know, the focus is on Mastodon instances, but in the future that could include Lemmy instances too.

Some have raised the question, worried about the future of the fediverse or even claiming that it goes against its definition.

What do you think should be done?

EDIT: correction

On the one hand this is true, but on the other hand making an account here is trivially easy. I can’t speak to whether integration would lead to an influx of new SJW accounts from Threads to brigade these polls, but I can see why someone might be concerned.

  That can happen with or without federation.
