2. Meta/Facebook is trying to join the Fediverse. We need to defederate them.
3. If you're a server admin, please defederate Meta's domain "threads.net" (here's how on Mastodon https://fedi.tips/how-to-defederate-fediblock-a-server-on-mastodon/)
4. If you don't run your own server, please ask your server admin to defederate "threads.net". Your admin is listed on your server website's About page.
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”
If you don’t run your own server, please ask your server admin to defederate “threads.net”.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you had the power to block instances yourself?
That way these discussions don’t even need to be had. People can control the content they want instead of arguing with each other over what others should see.

That’s why I like Sync. Instance blocking power at my fingertips
That sounds terrifying, how much horrible shit you gotta see before deciding to block a whole instance?
It doesn’t have to be horrible. It can just be something you, personally, don’t want to see.
