Meta may NOT, in fact, have a little ActivityPub, as a treat

Meta, 5 years ago: "Boo hoo you gotta let us control all the social medias you couldn't trust anyone else to do it. Please regulate us, please make regulations that literally only we could comply with" Meta 2 years ago: "Oh we're gonna join the fediverse" Meta today: "We're 4chan now. We can't let Elon Musk have all the 4chan fun" Get them outta here GET THEM OUT Here's more info on Zuck's speech in case you need it https://social.coop/@cwebber/113788266953239523 #contextpatrol @cwebber I admit I have been rather satisfied with my instance's firm stand on blocking interop with threads. (And bluesky, which is inconvenient but from an ethical standpoint I'm 100% good with) @Pedr01gb My instance's policies are expressed in a bit of an absurdist way (https://weatherishappening.network/about) (which, full disclosure, I have nothing to do with, I'd probably be more dadaist or cubist) but given their funding sources and many of the initial founders, Bluesky falls firmly in the death spiral fascist category, so was defederated. @wordshaper @cwebber ? Honest? What's your issue with π¦ ? @wordshaper #Activitypub is missing something. There is no technical mechanism to ensure being fully disconnected from the baddies. @cwebber this looks like preemptive compliance with Project 2025, section 28 on FCC: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24088042-project-2025s-mandate-for-leadership-the-conservative-promise/ In particular, the move to TX looks like a reason to cozy up to TX HB 20 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_House_Bill_20), as suggested on p849. @cwebber seems others are drawing similar conclusions: https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/7/24338125/meta-mark-zuckerberg-fact-checking-censorship-brendan-carr-trump @djfiander @cwebber I find this comment to be highly inflammatory towards mycotrichoid organisms. @cwebber i literally just finished reading the first two books of this series for the first time, and this reference hits just right. @cwebber@social.coop @FediPact@cyberpunk.lol fedipact is rated cool by this floof β:neocat_floof_cute:β @davey_cakes mainly I just wanted to indicate that by explicitly saying that transpobia and racism is now allowed, #fedipact is now the same level of concern that Isolate Gab was The @FediPact account has been leading a Threads defederation drive ever since federation was announced. social.linux.pizza was among the very first instances to get banned by threads - after I asked them to lol @FediGarden @tasket @cwebber @FediPact I specifically moved to an instance that refused to federate with threads I know I'm not the only person to have done this. One way (I don't know if it is the best), is to find a Threads user's profile page and "Block domain." @FoodHistoryGeek @DebErupts Step by step instructions for 2 ways of blocking Threads: https://infosec.exchange/@thenexusofprivacy/113789128823514251 @cwebber yes, even though I was banished from the evil empire for 'offences against 'community standards''. His community standards are so low he's filling the Meta sewage works on his own. A giant turd. @cwebber Indeed. See @jat23's Closing the Door to Remain Open: The Politics of Openness and the Practices of Strategic Closure in the Fediverse and the "Why the Anti-Meta Fedi Pact is good strategy for people who want the fediverse to be an alternative to surveillance capitalism" section of Should the Fediverse welcome its new surveillance-capitalism overlords? Opinions differ! for more about what's been done so far. @cwebber My server's users voted to sign the @FediPact a few months ago https://ailbhean.co-shaoghal.net/@gunchleoc/112139314409328024 π |
Is it time for an Isolate Threads campaign
