This shouldn't come as a huge surprise. Meta is moving forward with their plans for Theads and the Fediverse, and their adjusted terms reflect a new impending reality for Fediverse users.

If someone had any doubts about federation with Threads, they shouldn't by now. Facebook is trying to turn Fediverse into Shittyverse and Fedizens should resist that

    Lemmy needs an option for a user to block an instance.

    If your local instance is not going to defederate with meta then an average user can't do anything about it.

    Yeah sure you can create a new user in other instance or selfhost an instance, but who would actually go through that?

    Everyone should change their instance to one they agree with. If you don't want to be federated to Meta, go to an instance that's not federated.

    User blocks are pretty much a simple filter, Meta will still have your data if you block them individually instead of defederating.

    Sounds great, but in the end it just means everyone has to host their own instance. That could be interesting, but I doubt everyone would want to do that.

    Moving instances is easy, I don't see why you wouldn't do it. If you as a user block Threads then it'll probably only hide their stuff from you, while still sharing your posts and comments.

    Defederation means you don't see their posts. It does NOT mean they can't see your posts.

    I still don't think federating with them is a good idea, but defederating won't preserve privacy. It'll just cut down on the "influencer" BS Meta promotes.
