Many of us do not trust Facebook and anything it is associated with or swallows up.

EDIT:

https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/05/adam-mosseri-says-metas-threads-app-wont-have-activitypub-support-at-launch/

"Instagram head Adam Mosseri said "

““Soon, you’ll be able to follow and interact with people on other fediverse platforms, such as Mastodon. They can also find people on Threads using full usernames, such as @mosseri@threads.net.””

“We’re committed to building support for ActivityPub, the protocol behind Mastodon, into this app. We weren’t able to finish it for launch given a number of complications that come along with a decentralized network, but it’s coming,” he said.

“If you’re wondering why this matters, here’s a reason: you may one day end up leaving Threads, or, hopefully not, end up de-platformed. If that ever happens, you should be able to take your audience with you to another server. Being open can enable that.”

To me it’s simple. If Zuck has a part in this, I will find somewhere else to go.

Same. If Meta isn’t chased away, I’m leaving the Fediverse. Once I ripped the reddit bandaid off, my loyalty to any one site evaporated. I won’t feel a thing if I need to find somewhere else to go.

If this instance doesn’t defederate from Threads, I’m sure plenty of others will. And you can always host your own and lose very little functionality. That’s the entire point of the fediverse. Tying your view of the fediverse to one single instance is kind of missing the point.

Yup, all that matters is doomscrolling and shitposts, and we can all get our fill of content without any corporate fuckers fucking this shit the fuck up.

Also, Fuck spez and fuck Reddit.

I would be even more disillusioned and disappointed than I currently am, I will admit it.

But you could just change to whatever instance isn’t federated with them. There will be many, I expect.

There are always instances and apps that will block them for you. That’s the beauty of interoperability.

Yes. They have destroyed enough internet they shouldn’t allowed to touch this.

hold your horses guys. But seriously, lets not put too much pressure on the Admins, they’re doing a fine job maintaining the servers. I guess we wait how Meta will federate and let the admins take time to decide.

If we don’t defederate from the outset I’m just gonna join another instance that did. I didn’t sign up for Lemmy because I wanted fucking twitter.

It’s very simple. Facebook/meta bullshit on here and I am moving to -tildes.

Fuck corporations. I hope they all burn and I hope their creators and their born and unborn offspring get cancer and die.

Why Tildes and not just another instance? Tildes is still headed by a single person

Can you send it to @curiosityLynx or curiosityLynx on Reddit (haven’t deleted it yet because I want to make sure to edit my comments as subreddits go public again)? kbin doesn’t have private messages yet.

PS Tildes has a nice app now: Surfboard. I kinda hate the website, but using an app is way nicer.
