If Lemmy.world doesn't defederate from Threads, Meta and all things Zuck within 24 hours, I will shut down my subs and leave. - Lemmy.world

I didn’t come to a new service just to see it get taken over by the corporate beasts who ruined the internet in general, and I am sure as hell am not going to use an instance that doesn’t care about its users. I think the admin of this instance might have been paid off to federate with Threads, it being one of the most popular. So, I am giving y’all 24 hours to defederate and if the Lemmy.world admins don’t, I’m-a bounce and close down my subs behind me That is all

I’ll say it again…

Threads is a MASTODON-type app. Not Lemmy… Mastodon!

I truly don’t understand people in the Lemmy-sphere getting their panties in a bunch over this.

And it will still connect to Lemmy, since we all use the ActivityPub protocol?

What is your point, exactly?

Honestly, maybe the incompatible protocols should just be severed from each other.

It’s novel that Mastodon can technically talk to Lemmy. But why? It’s such a hassle to make it happen – and the results are so messy.

If you want Mastodon to happen on Lemmy, it just ends up being easier to post a URL to a Mastodon post than it is to try and use the “official” federated methods. Just like people could post a link to a tweet or Facebook post.

Kbin supports both approaches.
