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".

All things that exist already in Lemmy.

And only admins of an instance could artificially prioritise posts on the fediverse, and only on their instance.

Bots, shills and bad actors exist on all platforms to inflate posts and opinions.

You don't seem to understand the issue. Facebook IS the bad actor. They'll allow racists, nazis and all kinds of assholes just as long as they get their sweet advertising money.

Instance admins moderate according to community rules. Zuck moderates according to what's most profitable.

To put it another way, imagine reddit started federating with Lemmy, and suddenly all the users from TheDonald started harassing our political forums. If that sounds bad, remember how many fake accounts ran by shills and foreign states (read: Russia) appeated on Facebook between 2014 and 2017.
