Based on data from https://fedipact.veganism.social/ it seems that the majority of instances blocks threads.net. I’m sure there’s Lemmy instances with either approach that have slipped through the cracks as the list is a work in progress.
The percentage of users doesn’t correlate to instances as the biggest instance on the Lemmyverse has roughly 3x the users of the second largest, a NSFW instance, 4x the users of the biggest “niché” instance and 5x the users of what I see as the second largest general purpose instance.
With how bad Lemmy federates across other platforms, even those still federating won’t be seen on Threads lol
OOTL - why is everyone blocking threads.net?
It’s owned by Meta, the company that runs Facebook. If you’re still unsure about the situation perhaps this can help out: https://erinkissane.com/untangling-threads
And the crux of the matter:
Less emotionally, I think it’s unwise to assume that an organization that has…
- demonstrably and continuously made antisocial and sometimes deadly choices on behalf of billions of human beings and
- allowed its products to be weaponized by covert state-level operations behind multiple genocides and hundreds (thousands? tens of thousands?) of smaller persecutions, all while
- ducking meaningful oversight,
- lying about what they do and know, and
- treating their core extraction machines as fait-accompli inevitabilities that mustn’t be governed except in patently ineffective ways…
…will be a good citizen after adopting a new, interoperable technical structure.
Is kbin.social still going to federate?
I hope so. Preemptive defederation is a stupid idea.
Someone posted this in another thread and the stats are genuinely misleading here. All the super large instances are federating with Meta, with like 90% of the users.
