Lemmy.world’s position on Meta’s newly launched Threads

Lemmy.world’s position on Meta’s newly launched Threads - Lemmy.world

First of all, a big thank you to @[email protected] and team for building such a good place for us to hang out. I am interested to see your opinion on the recently launched Threads from meta, specially around possible federation/defederation in the future Some instance owners are open to federation, some takes wait and see approach, while some will block them outright as seen on https://fedipact.online/ [https://fedipact.online/]

This was posted on mastodon.world, also ran by Ruud [email protected] - Update regarding Meta/Threads:

We hear that the Threads app is coming July 6th. It will at first not support ActivityPub, so it can’t talk to Mastodon yet. That will be added later.

We’re very much in agreement with @tchambers , see timothychambers.net/…/instagram-threads-and.html As he said: ““Watching Like A hawk, with our fingers on the block button.” We will NOT be pre-emptively taking a “Fediblock as a Frist Strike” position.”

Instagram Threads and the Fediverse (Part 4)

As Meta’s new App - now officially confirmed as “Threads” - has a near-term launch date of July 6th, wanted to restate that Indieweb.social will be taking the same position as almost all mid-sized and large-sized servers and will be “Watching Like a Hawk, with our Fingers Over the Block Button.” We will NOT be pre-emptively taking a “Fediblock as a Frist Strike” position. For reasons I listed here: www.timothychambers.net/2023/06/2…

I see. Hope they’re ready to press that block button on the very first sign of bullshittery though.
