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 [http://threads.net]” If you don’t run your own server, please ask your server admin to defederate “threads.net [http://threads.net]”.

Currently, I think there are two main branches of ActivityPub implementations: Microblogs(Mastodon and its forks, the microblog portion of kbin), which are user centric, and group based aggregators(Lemmy, Kbin, peertube, future Pixelfed), both of which are valid implementations, however, they don’t really work well with each other.

So, I believe that the threat of Threads to Lemmy instances is really overblown for the simple reason that there is no way for a Lemmy user to browse microblog contents through federation to begin with, whether it be Mastodon or Threads.

You mention kbin/mbin, but you do not understand its power!

This person who responded to me didn’t think so. Maybe you can talk to him about it.

Discuit just went open source, could federation be next? - Lemmy.World

Announcement post here: https://discuit.substack.com/p/df5f002f-e27a-46a6-b30d-7641b266bd65 [https://discuit.substack.com/p/df5f002f-e27a-46a6-b30d-7641b266bd65] https://discuit.net/ [https://discuit.net/] For those unfamiliar, Discuit is another Reddit alternative that’s been floating around for a while. I was unable to find a MAU count, but I am honestly more interested in their software than their communities. Particularly curious what you all think of this stack. A consistent complaint around Lemmy is that a Rust backend makes contribution difficult, will a Go backend contribute to a lower overall barrier of entry?

Kbin actually does let you look at and browse microblogs as well as threads.
