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”.

    ActivityPub can’t license anything. When you identify actual human beings in this conversation, perhaps you might have a point. So far you don’t.

      First off, calm the hell down. You’re being needlessly antagonistic.

      Secondly, it seems like the W3C is the publisher of the activity pub standard seems like they ducats what is an isnt compliant.

      Seems like of was specifically authored by a team including Evan Prodromou according to the wiki.

      If they wanted too, but like literally and open source software, it could have been given licencing requirements

      Specifically, my research has turned up that implementations of these protocols can be licensed. Threads’ version of ActivityPub likely has its own licence. I think it would be safe to say that the creators of Lemmy and Mastodon specifically could have privacy rights dictated within their license implementation. That would nullify threads legal capabilities.

        You don’t “implement” a license. For fuck’s sake could you at least learn the terminology of a domain before spouting opinions on it?!
