petition: Defederate any instances that federates with threads proactivly , add threads.net on blocklists everywhere.

I really want to nip threads in the bud. Besides blocking threads.net itself, defederate from any instances that do not. This is blatantly an EEE strategy and a united front is the only way to save what have been accomplished. Here is how Indivudals can do it on mastodont as an example to follow....

Pixelfed Groups Are Coming to the Fediverse "Very Soon" ( wedistribute.org )

Pixelfed, an alternative to Instagram, has matured over the years. One of its biggest, most powerful features is about to touch down - federated groups. And it will be compatible with Lemmy and Kbin.

Lemmy.world deleting posts with archive links and posts questioning the decision.

Lemmy.world has somehow decided to become to extreme defenders of “copyright” and decided they will now delete posts that contain archive links in an absurd move that not even corporate websites like Reddit do. Archive links provide a service to provide access to an article long after it is deleted or changed....

Crossposted this in case of takedown. Hope this isn’t breaking the rules....

Hey, I host a lemmy instance focused on books and reading (and all the communities that fall under that umbrella) ( literature.cafe )

I don’t think this was posted here already, but this instance has been up and running for a bit. Apologies if this isn’t the best place for it, feel free to remove if need be! The instance has been running for a few weeks now and has a few users already, but if there’s people invested in that specific niche interest that...
