@pixelfed Meta is free to do whatever they want on their platforms, and I hope this is a bug.

I hope the fediverse remembers this though! (They have done this on FB and IG to us before)

Yeah, I was gonna say ... they did this last summer too. Hey wait a second, I'm noticing a pattern here. And just in time for #FediForum too, stay classy #Threads!

We're WAAAAAY past giving them the "must be a bug" benefit of the doubt, this is deliberate

@dansup @pixelfed No they are not. Anti-competitive practices are illegal. I doubt this is intentional though.

@bart @dansup @pixelfed If a company with over $100B in annual revenue only gets slapped with a $5B fine once a decade, is it truly illegal?

As I said elsewhere on this thread, this is not the first time: mastodon.social/@angdraug/1121

Given history and who META is, and their profoundly evil impact on the world, why would we assume this is unintentional? These fuckers employ psychologists to turn our kids into addicts of their product!

If someone has punched me in the face 37 times I’ll assume the 38th isn’t a mistake.

@bart @dansup @pixelfed illegal stuff is exactly what Meta does.

I might be misremembering, but the previous official statements from Meta on Threads integration was that it would start as a one-way push. Meaning that Mastodon clients could follow a Threads user and see the discussion happening on Threads, but that it would NOT merge back any comments Mastodon users would post.

Did they announce the two-way sync should be operational by today?

@airwhale Nope, and that isn't the issue. The issue is they hid a comment that simply mentioned "Pixelfed"

Damn... 🤔 sorry, didn't catch that.

You're right, that’s pretty low, and no, it's a filter someone wrote, tested and deployed, tracked in a Jira ticket. It's not a bug.
