Top-level
@BrodieOnLinux the summaries of the arguments against didn't sound like what I'm hearing. On the blocking number, most instances don't block others with one bad actor. There's often a bit if back-and-forth between admins to see where they're at. But with threads, we know it's less moderated than any Mastodon instance except those which are generally defederate. We won't get a response back from a threads admin within a couple of hours, but we will receive some thousands of block-worthy posts. 5 comments
 @malin @BrodieOnLinux yeah blocking Threads is once again being cast as some radical change of course. It is if of course one server being treated like any other server. Open source bros don't like this because they desperately want to be noticed by big tech. @davey_cakes @BrodieOnLinux I think the ability to connect with non-nerds sounds like the motivator, though I was a little confused about the mentions of 'one chance to go mainstream'. I'm not sure why it's the only chance, and I'm not sure going mainstream is worth the costs. @malin yeah, if you need to compromise everything to go mainstream then we should delete all the servers tomorrow and join Threads directly. I think Fedi is as mainstream as it's going to get - the kind of people who might try it will have heard of it somewhere. After that there's never going to be a big push or anything. Some people want it to "win" and that's ok but it doesn't mean it's a mistake for others to not want to sacrifice anything to that. @davey_cakes I have no idea what the future holds. Some people thought email would never become mainstream. But I hope fedi grows, at a natural pace. Having one account to follow image posts and videos is very convenient. |

@BrodieOnLinux I get the point about parents et c. being available. It'd be nice to have fewer Linux posts here (and ofc I'm part of the problem).
