Gregory's Serverif you're a server admin, this is your sign to let your users decide if they want to block threads.net or not — don't make that decision for them.

gonna jump in the replies before anyone else does: you cannot persuade me on this. I've heard the whole evil Meta thing, I don't need a lecture. Some people will want to connect with someone on Threads and it's not your place to strip them of their freedom to connect with whomever they want. thanks love you  @samhenrigold I agree. I'm not a fan of Meta, but I think it's super cool that they are federating and allowing connections to the open network. I'd consider that to be a big step forward. Server Admins blocking this is kinda missing the point of having an open network.  @samhenrigold My instance said they did it preemptively because they didn't know how much traffic would result from Threads and if they'd be able to afford it. Which, like, OK, fine. That's an understandable concern. But also? That this is something instances need to worry about is a problem.

@argv_minus_one i do not care about the impact of Threads on the global feed. the global feed, Threads or not, fucking sucks. people see my posts because they follow me, im boosted into their timeline, or they a post in the Explore tab. they're not finding me through a firehose of garbage. |
