How do I know if my ~~insurance~~ instance blocked threads

This metric seems kind of meaningless if it doesn't account for the size of the user base

When will we defederate from these 58.99% ?

EDIT: And why is lemmy.world federated to threads? I thought we are more strict about this.

Percentage of instances is meaningless without knowing their representative size in the overall context of the fediverse.

Meta wants to kill the Fediverse from inside while it's not a big rival. That's the only reason Meta want's to "become friend" to the Fediverse. The same that GAFAM has been doing for decades (if you can't buy it, destroy it).

Been enjoying Lemmy, so I wanted to see how Threads is. "It's just going to seem like another instance, right?"
It's Facebook with another skin. The posts are pretty much all the same sort of posts memes take the piss out of. Literally feels just like Facebook... Going to stick to Lemmy, myself.

Brilliant, all the propaganda about "join us, the fediverse is like email" gone to shit. More like "it's like email, but if you email ends with @hotmail.com we will block your messages".

I agree with the sentiment, not with these actions, instead of giving meta users a way to break free, we built a wall between us and them, who have way more content, because we're afraid of Zuck stealing our data, which is public and he already done.

Let's hit 90% 💪!

I’m glad my instance is a sane one.

Interpret that how you will.

I'm playing both sides, so that I always win.

Kinda sucks because now you really have no control over who gets your data. No need to scrape pages or embed trackers when the fediverse just broadcasts your activity to anyone.

Even if your instance defederates from threads, doesn’t mean they defederated from yours, so anything you do is fair game for Meta’s data collection. That’s at least as I understand it.

I interpreted this in the context of multi-threaded programs. Very confused why everyone was so happy.
