Meta just announced that they are trying to integrate Threads with ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc.). We need to defederate them if we want to avoid them pushing their crap into fediverse.
If you’re a server admin, please defederate Meta’s domain “threads.net”
If you don’t run your own server, please ask your server admin to defederate “threads.net”.
Imaging for a moment all non-company-mail-servers would block all company-mail-servers (like gmail). Would that be a good idea?
Yes, that would be a great idea because it would free the email protocol taken over by all big tech.
The more I think about it, you’re right. Having email in the hands of a few for-profit tech giants has really damaged the entire concept of email. Every day, I see comments about people whose unique email servers are automatically filtered by Google and Microsoft’s platforms. It would be massively beneficial to block all the big companies and have a healthier ecosystem like we have here in the fediverse.

Your argument is inherently flawed and born of confident ignorance. You can do better.
This isn’t email. Email wasn’t built purposefully able to block entire instances of email. Terrible comparison
