The whinging about Treads is sad.

There are a number of ways this can go:

  1. Threads won't federate. Happy now?
  2. Threads federates, you don't subscribe to anyone on the instance. Happy now?
  3. Threads federates, you blacklist the whole instance in your user blacklist. Now happy?
  4. Threads federates, you subscribe to a few people whose writing you like. Happy?
  5. Threads federates. Threads users realize, they can jump ship to another Instance and still talk with and to and about their friends. Threads loses users. Happy!

@mikka - like and everything it touches, should not exist - period!

@kkarhan It does, however, exist. You can remain cloistered, thus empowering them, or you can be part of what was always intended to be an open protocol, thus taking their power as a silo.

I presume we should also lock down our mail servers to not receive or send mail to their domains? Maybe also have a great firewall, that blocks HTMLS access?

Facebook laughs. Drinking acid and hoping it kills someone else... not the smartest move.

@mikka Either you are completely ignorant of tactics that ALL employ or you are a useful Idiot to ...

In the end, it doesn't matter which one is applying here...

Cuz consensus is that is bad - period!

@mikka ASnd yes, if it was my decision, #TooBigToFail #eMail #Spammers like #Hotmail / #Outlook, #YahooMail and #GMail would be blocked...

If I had the funding, I'd explicity start an eMail provider that blocks everything but #E2EE - encrypted [ PGP/MIME ] eMails and forces everyone to properly encrypt their shit.

Because I ran out of spoons and 10+ years after #Snowden and #PRISM there is no excuse to act like a Snitch!

@mikka Just because exist doesn't mean there is any legitimate or valid reason to federate with them!
