- List of instances defederating from Threads, the Meta microblogging platform: https://fedipact.veganism.social/
- At the moment, Threads have incomplete federation with Fediverse microblogging instances: https://fediversereport.com/last-week-in-fediverse-ep-86/
- Another meme about Threads: https://feddit.uk/post/18194873
- Threads does not currently federate with link aggregators (Lemmy, Piefed)
- Threads could work with the microblogging part of Mbin
The main arguments for people to defederate are
- “Embrace, extend, and extinguish” strategy: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html
- A potential federation with Threads (should Thread decide to implement it) would overwhelm Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed with millions of users (compared to the 40k monthly current active users), transforming those platforms into a threaded version of Facebook
- Defederating preventively costs nothing

Absolutely not worth it and I’m staying in my savespace they defederated. We are better.
They told me to tell you, “The bloodthirsty liberal lanyard status quo warriors aren’t inviting Hexbears to the wine cave. What a loss.”
They also threatened to stab me with an icepick. Why not an ice axe? That would have some history behind it.
Can you tell them they should keep themselves save from me please.
Also they defeated my instance, because they are right wing idiots larping as left wing and they can’t stand anime.
To be fair, anime is kinda sus, Bonerman… as the kids say these days.
