A community index of servers added a new rule recently, that requires every participant to defederate from Threads. Some admins are unhappy.

Server indexes of places for newcomers to join can be instrumental for Fediverse adoption. However, sudden rule changes can leave some admins feeling pressure to change policies in order to remain listed.

    Idk why some admins would even be that upset about this. Threads wasn’t a thing before and it won’t be again, unless they set up a small organization to create a search index for the groups that keep threads which seems exactly like their whole thing and area of expertise.
