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"

@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 (weatherishappening.network/abo) (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
The problem is that it’s not enough. you can block FBthreadsβ„’ to the fullest, but content from your instance can be boosted from an instance that does not block FBthreadsβ„’, which feeds FB and their users, rewarding FB and their serfs with your content.

#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: documentcloud.org/documents/24

In particular, the move to TX looks like a reason to cozy up to TX HB 20 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Ho), as suggested on p849.

@cwebber

This was brought to my attention by the lovely Yaseen, but evidently Facebook Chat has renamed their trans- and enby-themed chat options to 'harmless' variants. Co-opting the flags and taking them from our community. Isn't corporate pride great?

To quote Tailsteak, Facebook is for toy cows and racist uncles, and it's clear that's only intensified since. I see absolutely zero benefit in federating with them -- less than zero, really. It'd be a massive drain on moderators who've done this for a community project, and would only cause harm.
