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".
Same. Facebook and anything related to it is blocked on my DNS so if threads happens then I would rather go back to reddit than stay here.. Fuck this shit.
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.
