I think it should. Has it defederated and does it plan to?
doing some housekeeping this afternoon and yes we have already decided to do this. (if it hasn’t been done yet it will shortly, but someone besides me is going to be doing it)
I’m not normally a huge fan of defederation but in this case I very much support it. Fuck Meta and its services. They are one of the most actively malicious companies towards the health of the internet and its users that exists today. This was seen immediately with Threads’ privacy policy the moment it was made available.
Only reason I can think of is to get in on the ground floor of the fediverse and eat its lunch.
I imagine they see a world where ActivityPub is meant for federation between services from the likes of Twitter, Meta, Google, and other big players with maybe a large open source project that gets defanged.
Beehaw signed the fedipact. That makes defederation official.
Even if it weren’t for the privacy concerns, and Facebook’s history, Threads has whitelisted LibsOfTiktok, so any reports against them are auto-rejected in a couple of minutes, which should mean instant defederation even for instances that were on the fence.
