And that’s fine, the Fediverse gives you tools to not have to deal with that through silencing or defederation.

But for many people on the Fediverse, they’re here specifically for other things, and being able to interact with the corporate social web from outside of it is ideal for them.

But that’s seems to go directly against what the Fediverse was built for. They say that “The fediverse is a collection of community-owned, ad-free, decentralised, and privacy-centric social networks.” Threads seems to be the antithesis of that. If people do want that, they can find a different platform or create their own. Not coop the Fediverse.

What? Meta won’t control moderation on Mastodon.social just because they can communicate with each other. I want to be able to call politicians twats and “cunts” without fearing a banhammer. That’s what it boils down to really.

Then they will either threaten to defederate with that instance unless they impose the same rules they have or tell that instances moderates to punish you. Once the instances become intertwined enough, their rules become ours rules or they’ll threaten to defederate essentially kill that smaller instance.

There simply isn’t a world where Meta allows Threads users to see content that they don’t want them to see on their platform. I’m sure part of the reason they haven’t federated yet is so they can figure out a way to hide shit from other instance on their own instance.

I was looking forward to being able to use a mastodon to interact with people on Threads but apparently that’s the worst thing ever for you guys? What?

Why not just go join Instagram or Facebook if you want that?
