Meta bad, mkay?

    you can still defederate from it ahead of time. i just did – we had the debate with the admin team today and had an almost unanimous decision to cut them off. so threads.net is now on our blocklist, meaning no matter when that instance goes live, it’s not connecting to us.

    given that identities use the same domain you federate to, they’re very unlikely to federate with a different domain. if and when they do, that one goes on the blocklist as well.

        yeah, the whole point of defederation is to not even get to that point. if meta gets far enough ahead that threads users are a majority of your community, you already lost – they’ll just cut you off at some point and everyone not on threads will be forced to get on threads or be left out. that’s how they killed xmpp all those years ago.

        i hope that enough instances will make that choice that the fediverse survives. we need to learn from the last federation’s mistakes to avoid repeating it.
