Good to see that most of the instances have caught up

LW announced they are planning to migrate in the coming weeks: !lemmyworld@lemmy.world

    Just chiming in to say they lost my donations and me as a user for federating with Threads. I’m over on feddit.de now because they’re the only instance I could find defederated from Threads and the tankies.

    Edit: Have to edit this comment because I’m laughing at all of the butthurt users who are downvoting me because they don’t like my personal decision.

        Yeah, I plan on donating here as well. I am a little cleaned out by tuition and textbooks at the moment though…

        Nah, it’s on topic to the comment discussing userbase and donations. I’m not alone in leaving due to Threads either.

        It’s different on other platforms (like mastodon) but on lemmy, it only blocks posts from the blocked instance. Users from Threads would still be interacting in comments with the user who blocks their instance.

        Regardless, I believe they should be defederated by instance admins on ethical grounds. Meta/FB have run unethical, uninformed experiments on their users, including purposefully inducing depression in their users.

        The fact that Meta has assisted in genocide should be grounds for defederation by instances which claim to protect and care about their users.

        Meta’s platforms have also played a key role in radicalizing users, and they purposefully marketed Threads to far-right extremists.

        Here’s my argument with citations

        There’s also good arguments to defederate and block them from the fedivers based on EEE.

        If an instance’s admins claim they care about protecting their users and providing a safe, healthy community but are federated with Threads, then they are either uninformed or liars.
