Defederating Threads (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by Zedstrian@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/fediverse@lemmy.world

In reviewing the Fedipact page, I noticed the message about Threads having moved to threads.com nearly a year ago. In reviewing the federation status of various Lemmy instances with the Federation Checker tool, I noticed that threads.com doesn't appear to have been added to their defederation lists. Is Threads able to federate with other Fediverse instances using its new domain, including those that have defederated from threads.net?

seems to me that one way federation is the right answer/solution. Let fediverse users retreive threads content, but dont serve up fediverse content to help meta keep threads users locked in.

I feel it's better to not receive Threads content altogether, or severely limit it. What if Threads tries to overload us wirh a lot of it?
