1. Meta/Facebook has a horrific track record on human rights:

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".
I guess those nonstop arguments about Palestine and Israel will creep over if we don't defederate Threads. That is literally all I ever see in there nowadays.
What's next? Discord federates with Matrix? Give me a break.
I'd love it if Discord federated with Matrix. Then I wouldn't have to try to convince my friends to use matrix. Which I don't, which is why I seldomly use matrix.
