@aral interesting tag of capitalism there

Wot?

@Geri Well, last I checked Facebook wasn’t the product of anarchism or socialism.

@aral @Geri

Or maybe their product by 0.

I try to keep threads.net off my timeline, and you shove it in my face sideways. Not cool.

@BlippyTheWonderSlug Don’t worry, I’m about to take steps to ensure it never happens again.

@aral Yeah, I mean, it's not like people have been posting on the Fediverse for years already. Also, the need to do a "first!" ... 🙄

dgar,

@aral
He’s “discovered” Mastodon, and made the first “official” post.
Prepare for exploitation.

@aral saddest day of the fediverse. Even if you block, it will be the beginning of the end. He will destroy everything. Again.
So obvious, yet so many people blind to see…

Pixelfed an alternative for IG? Mastodon for X? What fucking ridiculous joke!

🤮

@aral Such a “hey fellow kids” vibe.

Anyway blocked Meta domains long ago. Not that they’ll care but I will stay on my side of the fence.

@aral Can I just use this thread (haha, pun intended) to remind people of the ?

Act now.

@aral I've joined the fediverse to have this. This should be an open platform, even with bad actors. This doesnt mean illegal activities.

knightlie,
@knightlie@vivaldi.net avatar

@fabiscafe @aral Meta and Zuck are not welcome here, as you can see from the responses. Bad actors are bad actors no matter how rich they are, and should be shunned.

fabiscafe,
@fabiscafe@mstdn.social avatar

@knightlie And who are you to just ignore my opinion? :blobfoxthonking:
I hope there is a place for everyone here. Communication shoul have no borders, otherwise the fediverse have failed. We have the option to block people and instances on a per user level. That should be used, but never enforced by someone else onto you. (Except on illegal activities of course)

knightlie,
@knightlie@vivaldi.net avatar

@fabiscafe I don’t ignore your opinion, I disagree with it. Your position leads to capitalist scum like Zuckerberg exploiting everyone they can, and I’ll have no part of it. I left Facebook to get away from that disgusting man and I don’t want him tolerated in the fediverse.

@andrew@mastodon.green avatar

@knightlie @fabiscafe I'm trying to judge how stressed I should be about this.

Are you worried that Zuck will bring his followers here, which will lead to a change in the character of Mastodon? Or is it just him that's annoying?

He doesn't have any real control here right? I wouldn't mind interacting with him on the level of equals.

But I do get the gentrification vibe.

knightlie,
@knightlie@vivaldi.net avatar

@andrew @fabiscafe my take is that his moves are to appease regulators, who are coming after him at some point. But Threads is already blocking mentions of PixelFed, so this is absolutely not an equitable relationship.
His long-term goal is probably to disrupt the fediverse to whatever extent he can to reduce the competition and harvest as much of that sweet, sweet personal data as he can, as per T&Cs which you, as a fediverse user, are bound by as soon as you interact with Threads.
Metas MO is to buy or destroy, not collaborate.

LukefromDC,
@LukefromDC@kolektiva.social avatar

@knightlie @andrew @fabiscafe The only safe "interaction" with threads.net is to block the entire domain

@aral yeah well let's mass block this mutherfucker 🖤✊

@thomkennon

you may find this bot useful for your personal blocklist.

https://botsin.space/@antimeta/112137340431151968

And as the instance admins of mastodon social are big fans of federating with Meta, why not migrate to a server who’s signed the ?

thomkennon,
@thomkennon@mastodon.social avatar

@kommaKucken thanks ! And it is time I migrated. Any recommendations?

kommaKucken,
@kommaKucken@ruhr.social avatar

@thomkennon
@aral

For everyone ready to migrate, here’s a list to check which instances federate with Meta and which ones don’t (yet).

But it could be good to ask your admins first to let them know people want them to join the (just a thought)

@aral Block him and he's gone. Don't make a big fuss out of it. You still can make your fediverse experience the way you want it to be.

@aral ha, yea, nailed it … wish I’d thought of putting it that way.
