Meta just announced that they are trying to integrate Threads with ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc.). We need to defederate them if we want to avoid them pushing their crap into fediverse.

If you're a server admin, please defederate Meta's domain "threads.net"

If you don't run your own server, please ask your server admin to defederate "threads.net".

Anyone can collect the data anyway, and I'm sure at least one person out there is already harvesting our Fediverse data.

There's a big difference between some random person and Meta collecting the data.

How do you know that meta hasn't created an account on a popular well federated server and it's using those credentials to scrape the fetiverse?

You have to assume whatever your post to the Internet is available to anyone and everyone connected. Why would federated servers be and different.

created an account on a popular well federated server

Why would they do that?

They would create a custom instance.
