Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

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?

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.

Yes it's easy but you need to erase all content you made in that instance first.

There is a ticket for moving profile between instances in lemmy, but it's still open since Dec 10 2021.

Moving user profile to a new instance #1985
