In the next day or 3, I will be blocking all instances that do not block Threads.
If you and I follow each other, and you are on an instance that connects to Threads, we will not be able to follow each other any more.
If you are on an instance that connects to Threads, please consider moving to a more privacy-respecting instance.
If you are the admin of an instance, and you have consciously decided to federate with Threads ... seriously, what is *wrong* with you?
This includes mastodon.social, most of the biggest instances and frankly, probably more than half of the 'Verse.
I will not be part of a #Fediverse that has FB on it, doing the stuff that FB does.
I love how all of the gnashing of teeth about how #Threads will be the apocalypse for #Fediverse has resulted in folks setting up artificial barriers that undermine Fediverse.
It’s a panic, much like those of the past, where people cause harm out of fear of an imagined ill, real harm to ward off something rather mundane, without the ability to make compelling, rational arguments for the course of action.
Fediverse is a relatively democratic platform, and What’s the saying? Democracy is great… except for the people?
@volkris
The #Fediverse was built explicitly by people trying to get away from Twitter and FB.
FB joining the 'Verse is like Russia joining NATO. Anyone who doesn't see that, doesn't understand the 'Verse.
