Shakedown folks (and only Shakedown folks please) - let's talk defederating with threads.net. Meta's recent policy changes explicitly allow homophobic, sexist and transphobic content https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/7/24338471/meta-hate-speech-hateful-conduct-policy-moderation

This makes their moderation policies directly contradictory to ours. Normally we'd handle this by blocking the server in question, and I don't see any reason why Threads would be different.

Does this move make sense to people? Any arguments for staying connected?

Here are some of the horrible things that you can now say on Instagram and Facebook

Meta’s policy changes around hate speech have sharply changed the content that’s banned or allowed when it’s based on gender, sexual orientation, and the coronavirus.

@clifff I'm personally against defederating yet, although reserve right to change mind later ~ We need more official content providers native to Mastodon/Fediverse that unfortunately are only on Bluesky or Threads today
