So basically until Threads we where alone in our little corner of the internet. Reddit is slowly dying, Twitter is slowly dying, new people are comming. Everything is working great.

Meta is now comming to infest and milk the Fediverse and somehow we must let them in our house, in our instances. Why?

Defederate them. I don't believe they are coming into the fediverse with any good intentions.

For the health of Lemmy and the fediverse I really hope that a license banning for profit use of federated and user content can be created and used by all instances.

We must prevent poisoning of the fediverse by corporations at all cost.

This was posted on mastodon.world, also ran by Ruud mwadmin@mastodon.world - Update regarding Meta/Threads:

We hear that the Threads app is coming July 6th. It will at first not support ActivityPub, so it can't talk to Mastodon yet. That will be added later.

We're very much in agreement with @tchambers , see https://www.timothychambers.net/2023/07/03/instagram-threads-and.html As he said: ““Watching Like A hawk, with our fingers on the block button.” We will NOT be pre-emptively taking a “Fediblock as a Frist Strike” position.”
