I’ve gotten so tired of the non-stop reddit/lemmy/mastodon/threads drama I pulled the plug on all recurring donations for the foreseeable future. Thanks to threads the fedverse is starting the reddit style drama cycles and I’m pretty much over trying to sort through it....
No post has been made that I know of. Mastodon’s CEO laid out his stance in the post below and I would hope Lemmy would follow with them.
Lots of echo chambering going on in here about EEE and Meta profiting off of everything. In reality, they can scrape data like anyone else, the profit from such small communities is negligible, and defederating meta would only hurt those that defederated because way more users than people here think will want to see and manage Threads while also not needing a Threads account to avoid the data hell that it is.
Thats fair and completely understand. I feel it should be the users choice to block the content they don’t want to see as opposed to a complete cut off for all users but from previous comments I’ve gotten, that is not possible yet. Maybe within the apps it would be possible atm but if the only way to not see the content is to defederate, then that makes sense to me.
I do still feel that for the bigger mastodon.social and lemmy, they should not defederate since most new users will go there and if they dont want to see the flood of Thread posts, then they can move to a group that defederated.
Everywhere I look there are people advocating for defederation from this and that! Do you even understand what you’re suggesting? Do you get what’s the point of decentralized social media and activity pub?...
Copying this from another comment I made. Defederating would pretty much cut off a lot of potential new users that want to see posts on Threads while also not wanting to have a Meta account and all the issues that come with it. People here need to realize that they are in an echo chamber. Mastodon and Lemmy needs users and content. Cutting a big portion of that would kill it in the long run. There would be nothing to “extinguish” in the first place in their complaints of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
It’s so funny seeing a large group (almost all) of the people in my feed being so excited about this new social media thing that they managed to get in through invitation on Instagram....
People want the new and shiny and to the regular person, the fediverse doesn’t exist and Threads is the only option to Twitter. Its all over my twitter feed and ain’t none of them are paid shills.
Would defederating make things worse? I would want to see posts from these users and blocking them would force users to use Meta’s app and in turn more likely for users to switch over and create accounts on their app.
I understand its a big scary corporate business but the fedaverse should be open. Closing off a potential big userbase does not seem to be the smartest move and it opens up the rabithole of instances starting to block each other left and right, ruining the entire point.
For those looking and trying new apps, Ive had the most success with Liftoff on Android. I’ve had the least bugs with this app and otherwise has been a smooth experience. Just know to expect bugs at this time on pretty much everything as they all are pretty early in their builds.
Yeah I heard alot of people in the Fediverse saying that Meta Threads should be immediately defederated. But I believe that this is a great chance for the Fediverse to grow as a whole. But I think we should only defederate from them when they actually do something that's against the Fediverse (like doing the "Embrace / Extend /...
I agree with you. Defederating would pretty much cut off a lot of potential new users that want to see posts on Threads while also not wanting to have a Meta account and all the issues that come with it.

I've been searching and finding circular logic and corporate level no-speak. Is there an official post clarifying as in YES or NO weather lemmy.world is defederating threads?

I believe we shouldn't defederate from Meta's threads immediately after its release
