Meta recently launched Threads in a seemingly rushed state likely aiming to capitalize on Twitter’s recent actions, missing features such as Digital Markets Act compliance and ActivityPub support.
Some communities have decided to preemptively defederate them as soon as that gets implemented under fears of them repeating what google did with XMPP by using “Embrace, Expand until no one else can keep up” tactics, while others have claimed those fears are overblown.
Kinda worrying tbh. With Meta being Meta, I’m afraid they’re trying to capitalize the whole Fediverse and farming more data at the same time. I really hope other instances start defederating them. Let them be their own walled garden.
If this happens it’s likely we will defederate with them over privacy/security concerns. So, you wouldn’t have to worry much about that happening here.
Agreed.
Also I found this to be funny:
“Your thread on Threads has been deleted.”
Threadception
I mean they probably will defederate us first…
They could do embrace extend extinguish
