Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads (lemmy.world)

I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.

Since lemmy can't pull from mastodon/threads, it seems like a complete non issue for now.

Correct. This is an issue for Masto, not Lemmy. It may never be an issue for Lemmy for all we know. Lemmy is focused on following activity pub communities not individual people.

It’ll affect Kbin.

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

No offense but Kbin users have a lot more to worry about than the threads issue, considering the amount of development and moderation problems that plague kbin to this day.

This thread isn't about kbin though. We don't need to clutch pearls about other services on fediverse when discussing what happens with Lemmy instances.

[-] Marsupial@quokk.au 14 points 1 year ago

But we do need to look out for our peers.

Lemmy pull from mastodon if someone from mastodon mentions a user or community of lemmy instance

Interesting. It seems that Lemmy can see Mastodon users and send private messages to them. And I believe Mastodon users can create Lemmy posts, so potentially Threads users could do that too once Meta enables two-way communication.
