I really want to nip threads in the bud. Besides blocking threads.net itself, defederate from any instances that do not. This is blatantly an EEE strategy and a united front is the only way to save what have been accomplished. Here is how Indivudals can do it on mastodont as an example to follow. https://hachyderm.io/@crowgirl/110663465238573628 Edit found this , https://fedipact.online/ please sign.

Allowing meta to be federated with anything is like inviting the world's best arsonist your house warming party.

Also, allowing meta or any other of the BP is like pissing your pants, feel nice warm in the beginning..

EEE is a known and well deployed tactic. And a lot larger threat than your perceived division of the user base.

Join threads if you wish but don't bring the fediverse down with you.

I have no intention of joining Threads, or of being a part of any instance that's federated with them.

And that's entirely beside the point. I'm not arguing the merits (or lack thereof) of Threads or of federation with them.

I'm simply relaying the fact that I've already seen a forum destroyed by the sort of internal strife you're fomenting.

And it should be noted that with your response, you're still following the script exactly, by jumping to the conclusion that because I criticized your call for a "united front," I must be on the side of the enemy.

Well here we are , we have 2 different points diverging. Everyone that wants to keep BD away as much as possible and your point that allowing them to fester and not only effecting your data but all of ours.

I believe the majority will decide that they are tired of BD and want an alternative that is free from corporate overlords.

Perhaps your fake unity not to splinter that is the problem and not my call for united Front?

It's quite obvious that we who do not want it will not participate in helping meta.

What option do you leave us with?

Not walling them off will be the problem in the long run.
