While Meta might have ulterior motives for fediverse integration this might also be just one way to comply with Europes new DMA regulation.

This makes me nauseous. Block the fuckers out.
If not Threads, what would you suggest to bring the billions of people who are stuck in legacy social media into the Fediverse?
If not Threads, how else can we convince small businesses to have an online presence beyond their Facebook pages?
If not Threads, how else do you want to bring mainstream media out of Twitter?
Why should I care about any of that? Let them come one by one if they're so inclined.
They can join a proper instance instead of a gigantic corporate-controlled one.

Eternal September
Can you elaborate?
Not the OP, but Eternal September references the massive culture impact on Usenet when ISPs started lowering the barrier to joining the then somewhat exclusive forum-esque part of the internet.

I blocked them on my instance last year. Fuck threads and any instance that goes along with them.
Lemmy.world looks like it will be federating, according to https://fedipact.veganism.social/

~~Wasn't this posted yesterday?~~
Edit: not here
I do want to kind of make a plea that I think everyone on the team has really good intentions.
Maybe the team has good intentions. Zuck the Fuck certainly doesn’t

This is the best summary I could come up with:
During the FediForum conference on Tuesday, Meta’s Peter Cottle showed off a brief demo of how users will eventually be able to connect their accounts and posts to the fediverse.
As you can see in the video below, which FediForum shared with The Verge, Cottle can navigate to his Threads account settings and toggle on an option called “fediverse sharing.” Meta will then show a pop-up explaining what exactly the fediverse is, along with some disclaimers Meta will flag to users so they know what they’re getting into.
First, Meta notes that users will need to have a public profile to toggle on the feature, something Instagram head Adam Mosseri has already mentioned.
In other words, your post may still be visible on, say, a linked Mastodon server, even if you decide to delete it with Threads.
“I think this is a downside of the protocol that we use today, but I think it’s important to let people know that if you post something and another server grabs a copy, we can’t necessarily enforce it,” Cottle says.
The FediForum is an online event that gives developers the opportunity to show off what they’re working on in the fediverse.
