Just checked a few other instances, and wondering why so many are blocking #threads. That's like having your email provider block Gmail, and a very weird thing to do in my opinion. Is it just fear/uncertainity/not understanding how Mastodon/ActivityPub works?
Probé a seguir a alguien de #Threads pero tienen la costumbre tuitera de citar con RT otras publicaciones sin decir ni media palabra de qué coño es lo que enlazan.
Tener la línea de tiempo llena de enlaces sin contexto no es lo que me gusta de usar esto, y según me pareció entender Threads tiene comunicación unidireccional con el #fediverso por lo que una conversación sería imposible. Y no creo que haya nadie ahí a quien tener exclusivamente como fuente de información.
Así que bye, Threads. 👋
@tuneintodetuned Since you're using Mastodon, there's a feature that allows you to mute RT from users in your feed but still see their own posts. I have this set up for a handful of users that I enjoy their personal content but they get super spammy with their RTing.
@cheeaun It's an interesting problem. “Home” doesn’t say what it is, it says (sort of) where it is. It could reasonably be called “Start” or “Latest” something like that. “Following” does say what it is (I like that) and you’re right, Threads highlighted that. Except for I’m pretty sure that Threads “Following” page is still algorithmically modified, not just chronological.
Just a reminder that the whole point of federated social media shouldn't be that you need to be on #Mastodon, AND #Bluesky, AND #Threads, AND whatever other platform
@jynersolives I don't think anyone* was arguing that it would happen within a few months. The alarm is that Threads is the beginning of an Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish campaign, and those typically take years. We shouldn't expect any major problems this soon.
okay, maybe a few overly-alarmist people who didn't really understand the situation, but not by any means the main bulk of people against Threads/Meta
The group diligently observes the collective dissent voiced by numerous Meta employees, encompassing #Facebook, #Instagram, WhatsApp, #Messenger, and #Threads, regarding the Meta #company's complicity in the #genocidal war against the #Gaza Strip, its endorsement of the Israeli occupation, and its fueling of the "Lavender" #artificialintelligence system used by the Israeli military to kill #Palestinian individuals within the Gaza enclave.
