So... I get banning the Threads server. I might do it myself, actually.
I get leaving an instance that doesn't ban Threads to join another instance that does ban it. Cool, migration is a feature of the fediverse.
But... don't ban servers that don't ban Threads. Like... that's some weird Civ III peer pressure bullshit.
I probably will ban Threads from my account. But I'm not leaving infosec.exchange. @jerry does entirely too well at server administration and this entire instance is comprised of too many people to be of one mind.
Like... we can all agree, no nazi's and racist shit, right? But politics and socio-economic models... fuuuck.... there's no way.
And I really want to talk with y'all. And I really really really don't want to spin up my own instance right now.
So. Ban Threads. Don't ban Threads. Instance wide or individually. But don't balkinize each other because of each other's stance for/against/indifferent Threads.
@tinker it's another case where I grind my ax about overlooking the empowerment of users.
SO OFTEN on this platform we focus on instances banning and unfederating and whatnot without considering the option of simply leaving it to users to choose their own adventure, empowering them to make that decision.
I just really wish Fediverse would spend more time focusing on empowering users instead of promoting instances making decisions for them.
