@cwebber Remember when Threads was announced and some people were like, “I’m going to preemptively block Threads”, then other people were like, “Give them a chance, you don’t know that they’re going to be bad yet” 👁 👄 👁

@cwebber

You forgot to tag this dude along

@zuck

@cwebber@social.coop what did he say to warrant this response suddenly

@cwebber just tagging in @FediPact to this.

@cwebber …what’d I miss? What speech?

@cwebber All hail the Queen!

@cwebber forgive me for being an idiot, but it seems like this is a small step in the right direction?
From what I’ve seen, the *current* Meta stance is to allow alt-right views and shadowban left-leaning accounts. The other thing he mentioned was removal of foreign intelligence bots, which from what I’ve seen mainly target antifascist posts (yuumei art’s protest pieces come to mind).
Is there anything I’m missing?

@cwebber

I was ostracizing Threads before it was cool.

j/k; it's always been cool.

@cwebber Thanks Your Highness!

@cwebber My experience on facebook left me with such a bitter taste that I blocked them as soon as they appeared. There is spare comfort for being right. I would have loved to been proven otherwise.

@cwebber Zuck, noun: also verb: The product or action of the tracking algorithms that shape an Internet user's experience and online self, in particular on social media platforms like Facebook; derived from Zuckerberg, the last name of the founder of Facebook.

Sample usage: "The zuck is deep here." "l've been zucked"

@cwebber I uninstalled Threads today. Was following for a few months. Seems like a lot of whining christians.

@cwebber
reminder:
meta inc owns whatsapp.

do you use whatsapp ?!

@cwebber Let us rightfully condemn and ridicule Zuckerberg shit ,but insure we all boycott all his operations and any corporations that support them. His corporations main value comes from ad revenues from his platform users: deny.

@cwebber
To every server admin who wrung their hands and said "we'll wait and see" in all of the conversations about defederating Threads - if this isn't the sign you were waiting to see before taking action, then you need to own up to the fact that you were *never* going to do anything no matter how bad things get.

@cwebber
As President of the Universe, I second.

@cwebber All this aside, isn't it getting a bit crowded up in Trump's ass?

@cwebber you're the queen, ey?
I didn't vote for you...

@cwebber Thank you.

@cwebber may i *lol*?! And, your Highnes, do the threadies figure as an instance of their own in the fediverse? Or are they your (new) (ex-)subjects in an entirely different way?

@cwebber absolutely. Fuckerberg is just another cunning stunt, only my opinion of course.

@cwebber bitch you GTFO...

@cwebber I bow to my queen. 🙇🏻 Begone Zuck! Begone!

@cwebber I'm always torn on this. Blocking large node can be detrimental to some users. For example, I've heard multiple times people from marginalised groups sticking to larger org platforms because there are disavantages to only use Mastodon. I wish we could have a more granular solution but I also understand the complexity of the problem.

@cwebber I happily complied, my Majesty, and blocked the threads domain. Since I am only a humble user and do not operate an instance the effect will be minor. But I did my best. 🙇
