Ok fair, I'm not familiar enough with Threads lore to know if libsoftiktokofficial is really Chaya or not, and why the account is up if they were banned twice. It looks like their last post is from 6 days ago, but I'm not sure if I'm seeing the up-to-date view from the web interface from Europe (and honestly I can't be arsed to try a VPN for that). Perhaps the whole situation on Threads right now is just early platform chaos.

In any case, the whole discussion might be moot, if any of these happens to Threads:

• Flops after the instagrammers get bored of it.
• Thrives, but never enables federation.
• Enables federation, but only as an allowlist for select big instances (like mastodon.social).
• Enables open federation (RIP their mods after poa.st and people spinning up throwaway Pleroma instances catch a whiff of it), but the interface to Lemmy is too awkward for anyone to bother (like federation with Mastodon is wonky already).
• Federation with random tiny Lemmy instances works in an usable manner, but someone on their side defederates after noticing that FMHY admins are very ok with piracy.

On the off chance that none of that happens, though, I'm not sure what is to be gained from federating with an instance that has orders of magnitude more users than the entire fediverse combined (even if their count is inflated) and the only moderation policy is "whatever makes Zucc richer".

Libs of Tiktok was on Instagram and already is on Threads, along with the rest of the usual suspects: https://kolektiva.social/@ophiocephalic/110667668701596654 They have already started their shtick of quoting random people to direct their followers to harrass the target.

Threads is owned by Meta, which:

• Has profited from a genocide in Kenya: https://gizmodo.com/facebook-kenya-pro-genocide-ads-hate-speech-suspension-1849348778
• Has profited from a genocide in Myanmar: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/dec/06/rohingya-sue-facebook-myanmar-genocide-us-uk-legal-action-social-media-violence
• Hosts Libs of Tiktok, who, among other things, led a harrasment campaign on children's hospitals, based on a completely made up rumour of said hospitals providing genital surgery for minors.
• Hosts Moms for Liberty, which is a neo-nazi organization that has quoted Hitler (with attribution) in their promotional material, and made fun of a moment of silence for a Holocaust memorial.

If your point is that Meta is no worse than Twitter or whatever other corporate media, then whatever, I'm not really interested in discussions about whether it's better to come down with plague or leprosy. They all suck.

If your point is that Threads itself isn't technically compilicit in anything yet after being up for 10 days, then I think that's pretty naive.

Threads already violates rules 1 and 3, hosting people who escalated their harrassment into real life multiple times already, so I hope the decision to block them (should they ever choose to federate) is a no-brainer to FMHY admins.

It adds cats ears on the profile pic and converts avery 'na' in your posts to 'nya'. I think it's a generic feature on Misskey forks (or at least it's also on Foundkey).
