Forgive me if this is a n00b question (to be fair, I only came to lemmy a few weeks ago, and learned of Lemmy a few weeks before that), but I thought ActivityPub was a core element of the Lemmyverse, and the fediverse in general? I thought one of the main points of Threads was that they were going to try to integrate with our whole ecosystem (that is, before all reasonable instance admins decided “fucc the zucc”)?
New here myself, still trying to take it all in. I’m not really sure how Threads works without ActivityPub, I just recall reading that they plan to incorporate it later. And at that time it will integrate with the fediverse wherever it isn’t blocked.
Aside- I’m really enjoying it around here so far! I’m set up with Memmy and Ice Cube, and I’ve got my eyes on Artemis for kbin. Initially I was really hoping Reddit would reconsider their API position so I could get back on Apollo, but things are self-sustaining enough around here that I’m happy to be here instead. I actually did do the personal API Apollo sideload so I do have access to Reddit via Apollo, but I’ve been spending about 5 minutes a day there at best. Account deletion is next.
Yeah… the lemmy dev + hosting community is gonna have to really stay on the ball and proactively block things, lest we allow Meta’s tendrils to infiltrate the rest of the ecosystem.
Might not be a bad idea to put a default blacklist in the next release, if one doesn’t already exist - or at least maintain a reasonably small set of obvious default blacklists on another repo somewhere (e.g. block meta, block “free speech” instances, block nsfw instances, etc).
I do realize that this will exacerbate fediverse fragmentation… but there is a valid use-case for all of those, and I haven’t been able to think of a better solution in the last week or two.
Threads doesn’t yet support ActivityPub, that’s supposed to come down the road. Some instances have preemptively blocked Meta though, yes.
