I asked and enough of you answered that allowing to federate with threads.net even for the lolz would be considered too risky for y'all.

So I've gone ahead and added threads.net to our blocklist.

What is this? Weapon of Choice? Mark will never be as good as Christopher Walken.

I’m curious about the instance block policy, anyone know?

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 2 years ago

Meta in general definitely contains all 3, two of them on purpose by policy.

From the sidebar:

… the following subjects are explicitly not allowed …

  • Nothing extreme-right-wing. This includes conspiracy theories, SovCit, Pro-Police, AnCaps etc. We’ll know it when I see it, don’t test us!

So I would guess "fash" means fascist content.

Sometimes all you need to do is to simply send a message.

While I don't have love for meta/facebook/instagram/whatever corpo name they're deciding to lead with this month, the fediverse blocking off people who want to join it seems odd. Like, we want the fediverse to be a thing so that everything can talk to everything else and the content itself can be king without having to worry too much about where that content lives. So we have a standard (ActivityPub, among others) that we want people to use so it all Just Works(tm), and we have a large entity adopting it and we shit on them for it? Like I said I don't have any love for threads or meta at all, but shouldn't we be at least a little happy that the very concept of federation isn't able to be ignored in this way? What's the benefit of building all this that we want the world to use and then getting mad and booting people who choose to connect to it?

I don't have strong feelings about this one way or the other I just don't see the danger or damage in letting federation happen and just letting users decide what they want to view and what they don't.

Not me. I wanted something free from multibillion dollar corporations. And people aren't blocked off. They don't even need an account to view content or an app. And they aren't blocked from creating a non meta affiliated account if they want to participate.
