Fediverse

I have already blocked threads on my household instance. I decided that I don't want to have to trust major instance admins to take the same things seriously that I do.

Fuck em. Burn this place to the ground before we dance with the devil.

Another vote to defederate here.

I run my own instance and am defederating immediately (whenever they start federating). I did also join the pact.
I'll evaluate their impact a month or so in and decide whether or not to refederate.

I acknowledge there's potential for a positive impact here, so I will give them a chance.

Given that everything right now is just speculation - I say sit tight, observe what actually happens and respond appropriately if it does start to go wrong. Defederation is very easy, we can do it when we need to

Threads is exactly showing the biggest problem with anything Fediverse. It's simpler for the user so it will be accepted. The amount of people I've already seen join is huge compared to mastodon.

threads will never federate.

What’s the DNS I need to block to never inadvertently get sent to anything Threads related?

I think defederation isn't the solution. Am I dumb in thinking this could actual have a mutual benefit?

Just an example: I will never use Threads, but if I can communicate with them from my Mastodon account, I would like to have that option.
