Meta announced that users on Threads will be able to see fediverse replies on other posts besides their own. In addition, posts that originated through the Threads API, like those created via third-party apps and scheduling services, will now be syndicated to the fediverse.

Was commenting more generally, in case there's someone against Facebook in instances that don't block them.

And about lemm.ee, although the guy running it is strongly against defederation, I guess Facebook the company is too much even for him. "<.<

There was a vote about it in !meta@lemm.ee : https://lemm.ee/post/851217

I wanted to vote against defederation (edit: i was offline that week or something, I can see I didn't vote) I liked on this instance that we are treated as adults, and the admin let us decide what we want to see. You can block instances if you want. Defederating with Threads even before we can see how it would work goes against this philosophy.

Afaik there is no way to see anything from threads on lemmy yet, connection with mastodon like services work only, so we are again debating about a not yet existing thing.

If it will work between threads and lemmy I will look for another instance where I can devide what I want to see.

Having no defederation is not being treated as adults, it's just a free for all. User-specific blocking is not adequate for stopping bad influences on the fediverse and simply can't do the same as instance-level defederation.

Preferring no defederation at all is akin to "free speech absolutism" - it asserts that anyone can say anything and anyone else can just choose to not listen individually. But that's not really a good path for a welcoming and understanding environment.
