Great.
I joined the Fediverse to escape Facebook's toxic interpretation of communities, so Facebook is coming to the Fediverse instead.
Just great...
You should just join an instance that blocks threads.net. Fortunately there are many of such instances. Your current instance doesn't seem to defederate any other instance, which is kind of suspect on its own.

Blocking everyone and every community you see from Facebook's new parasite social media could be good, me thinks.
@[email protected] You can just use an instance that is defederated from them, that's the beauty of the Fediverse
According to https://lemm.ee/instances your instance already blocks them for example
can't you selectively block entire instances? you can in Boost
It's not just a matter of blocking Threads users.
Facebook is coming on here to slurp up data I don't want them to have, and enriching their own Threads ecosystem with Fediverse content they haven't lifted a finger to create.
Not to mention, when Threads users are able to fully interact in the Fediverse, do you really want that particular bunch to create noise in your communities? I don't. There's a reason why I avoid Facebook in all its forms.
Uh.. this fediverse stuff is all on the public internet. Facebook could be slurping it up just as easily without joining at all.

right but if I block their instance, they can never interact with me and vice versa.

Check https://fedipact.online for instances that have defederated threads. Good luck! :)

I don’t like this rebranding to “open social web” like it was made for them.
Something that is open and free was, by definition, made for everyone. Even the robber barons you hate.
Note: You can't interact with Threads accounts from Lemmy, but you can interact with Threads accounts from MBin (and maybe PieFed), except if your instance is defederated from them obviously
There's POTUS account for example @[email protected]
Yep, pyfedi supports Mastodon integration just like mbin.
Not quite as good as Mbin. For example you can't follow someone on mastodon from PieFed. They can follow you, though.

Boo. Go away Zuck and take your shitty vertical videos with you.
We used to say that people who made vertical videos had Vertical Video Syndrome. It was a terrible time.
Currently, Threads users can like the replies from other servers, but they can’t yet reply to them, as the feature is still in beta and under development.
It took around a year for a solo dev (and a couple contributors) to develop a fully federated platform. Why is it taking one of the largest companies on the planet this long to make such tiny changes that are useless anyway.
And why are they releasing it like this instead of releasing everything at once?
Because every step of the way, they need a flock of MBAs to figure out the answer to the question "How do we make money off of this?"
I'm rather guessing the other way around. Because they can't directly extract money from this, they can't justify to their shareholders to sit down full-time devs. Instead, this is a project solely run by interns and student.
It is a different level of scale, mastodon has about 1 million users spread over a bunch of instances. Threads has over 200 million users on one instance. also due to the network nature of social media the amount of connections and messages sent through those connections can scale exponentially with the amount of users.
Definitely can appreciate the carefulness here. Imagine they just open the floodgates and now some random Mastodon instance on a $5 VPS is getting hammered with millions of activities because they followed an account with millions of followers on Threads, and now it's federating millions of likes and thousands of posts.
Meta is trying to be a good fediverse participant here. They could just come in and crush the entire fediverse and be like "lol should have gotten beefier servers".

I'm guessing because they don't want it to.
I am so glad my instance is defederated

I don't want to see commercial content. I also don't want others to see it because it will pollute the culture of the Fediverse.

I don't think i've ever seen a Threads message in any of my Lemmy / Mastodon feeds. Perhaps I'm not mixing in the right circles?
Your instance likely defederated threads
Fediverse is not super far from original internet idea with the exception of convenient block feature. Let’s hope that’s enough to prevent the sequel.
