If Lemmy.world doesn't defederate from Threads, Meta and all things Zuck within 24 hours, I will shut down my subs and leave.

I didn’t come to a new service just to see it get taken over by the corporate beasts who ruined the internet in general, and I am sure as hell am not going to use an instance that doesn’t care about its users.

I think the admin of this instance might have been paid off to federate with Threads, it being one of the most popular.

So, I am giving y’all 24 hours to defederate and if the Lemmy.world admins don’t, I’m-a bounce and close down my subs behind me

That is all

jerdle_lemmy,

Fuckity bye. There’s a lot of other instances that don’t federate with Threads.

rev,

bye. frankly this post is toxic. if you want to leave then leave but trying to strong arm instance admins over it is low.

Here is the tutorial, please make YOUR OWN server if you dislike admin choice. Thx!

Candelestine,

I’m probably one of the loudest anti-Zuck voices on this server, but even I think you should probably just leave.

I like that sub too. But another Instance would be a better fit for you.

I’ve said this on another thread too: can we leave this type of instant escalation of problems behind us? Are you even actually trying to solve a problem or are you just being angry and projecting your anger out onto the site to see who else is angry?

You’re out here talking about backroom bribes and threatening to leave if your demand isn’t met - it’s just a website! It’s a cool website, and one I hope succeeds, but still just a website. We do not need to be so angry over it and make accusations with zero evidence to try and drive the outrage machine.

I used to be this angry about internet goings-on and it was unhealthy, I can see by looking back on it now. Let’s deescalate a little and maybe talk it out?

Aux,

Good luck! And don’t wait for so long, delete right now.

This feels like a shitpost made just to get some upset reactions for content.

… I will shut down my subs

They have 1 tiny sub. They seem rational enough to know they don’t have any sway even if they didn’t understand how the fediverse works and thought removing subs was a valid threat.

This is probably just farming reactions for fun

The-Bent,

Someone is full of themselves today 🤣 go make your own instance and run it how you want. Until then, Threads isn’t even federated yet.

BananaTrifleViolin,

I think you're probably best shutting "your" subs and moving anyway - if you want to dictate how a server runs, you're probably better off hosting your own instance. I'm not sure we need people in the fediverse who thinks a moderator owns a community - it's just the other extreme from Reddit's attitude that they own a community.

I happen to agree with defederating, but I don't like threats and the idea of blackmail to a community.

Maybe learn the basics of the Fediverse before demanding to undo something that doesn’t even exist yet.

ZombiFrancis,

How does one defederate from that which is not yet federated?

By adding threads.net to the defederation list.

As much as I hate meta and hate the idea of threads federating with us, ultimately you should be able to find or create an instance that aligns with your idea of defeding with them. I would ultimately want the admin of my instance to side with the majority of users rather than drag users kicking and screaming into following their lead.

Besides, if you truly wanted more control over your web experience, we should be more decentralized. Like what the hell are we all doing on the same instance, and being shocked that the decisions of a small group of people is going to affect so many of us. Like we were all encouraged to join smaller instances or make our own precisely for this reason. Like hypothetically, if every popular community was in its own instance, rather than centralized around world, ml, beehaw and kbin, Meta federating with us would not be a big deal. Every community would be able to decide whether they wanted to associate with them or not, and we would be too spread out for it to be worth Meta's while.

Maybe this should be a wake up call for some of ya'll. Spread out and take your own actions, rather than wait for the big instances' admins to act for you.

Two thoughts:

  1. So there’s a bit of talk about Threads being a mastodon/microblogging type platform and so it doesn’t matter. This is somewhat wrong. Lemmy federates in a certain way with microblogging platforms such that two-way communication can and does occur between such platforms. However likely it is, when Threads turns on their federation they will be able to subscribe/follow and post to lemmy communities.
  2. Picking a server/instance on the basis of its moderations issues is basically the first idea or utility behind decentralisation. So … umm … continue on your merry way … this is the point. I know lemmy.ml has definitely defederated already.

OK.

How to do suggest they defederate from an entity which isn't federating with anyone?

BananaTrifleViolin,

To be fair, they can "prempt" Threads.net by blocking the domains. That's basically how they block other instances.

I personally think the default should be to block Threads.net and federate if and when a server wants to, rather than waiting for Meta to pull a switch. However I disagree with OP's approach of blackmail and threats, and his idea he "owns" the communities he moderates.

SmashingSquid,

Nobody is federated with threads because threads doesn’t even support federation yet and there’s no actual ETA for when it’ll launch.
