if any of you have ever been, like, properly immersed in tech bro culture and seen by the tech bros as "on their side," you would know it doesnt even make sense to them when you tell them real hate exists online. they dont understand it's more than just name-calling, that there are real world consequences to allowing that kind of shit on a platform. they think of it all as "it's just online, ignore them lol" and literally laugh if you mention moderation tools.
i spent four years getting one of the most prestigious compsci degrees you can get.
there was no tech ethics course.
they dont understand the consequences of their actions.
and they never will.
#fedipact or there is no fediverse. just another cesspool of bigotry.
I'm really getting nervous about how so many are embracing Threads. When I first heard they were going to federated, I had hoped we would see a stand for users' privacy. #fedipact wasn't taken up my instance admin, and even the user level block seems worthless as the POTUS account on Threads is still visible demonstrates. 😑😑😑
@trumpet please stop blocking threads so that I can follow and boost @POTUS
This policy of blocking entire instances simply because you don't like who runs them is silly and detrimental to the Fediverse not to mention our democracy.
@schizanon@trumpet we're starting to see why the decision to block threads is a difficult one once federation is actually widespread. Many accounts people find important to have access to get blocked when it is done at the instance level. It was definitely smart for #fedipact to move on this early since a decision that's already been made is harder to reverse.
The good news is that you can always migrate if the instance doesn't make the choices you want.
wanna give a trans gal a nice gift on trans day of visibility? do you enjoy the work i've done with FediPact? the rad instance i've set up? the cool clothes i DIY together? my pirate radio station, vantaradio? my awesome videos? my amazing selfies? my posting generally?
well i'm unemployed, job searching, was recently kicked out of the place i'd been staying for years, and am surviving solely off donations for the moment so if you wanna support me anything helps me keep being able to do all those cool thingies!!!
If you want to complain to @verge about their blatant transphobia over #FediPact then I’d recommend you do a user search on your instance because a lot of their editors and writers are on dot social. Real people you can contact that aren’t bots. I won’t post them here in case someone decides I’m inciting something… Which I’m not! I’m just offering information to the masses!
"the purpose of The Pact is to embolden instances to commit to blocking project92/barcelona/threads. a lotta peeps were already talking bout preemptively blocking it since the march leaks, me included. and the idea popped into my head that maybe if we had like, y'know, a thingy peeps could sign to show their support for it... it might weaken that argument that it's like pointless or whatever, and might make that choice easier to make"
@atomicpoet That table isn't the official #Fedipact site. It's run by @nm If you check their feed, you'll see they've been offline for the past few weeks due to health issues. There are problably some updates that haven't been applied.

that's seven hundred and sixty-seven instance admins and mods who've decided to defederate the shit outta threads and take a stand against meta!!!!!!!!!!
Never, EVER trust #Meta. There's no benefit of the doubt here; they squandered that ages ago. Their content moderation is a joke, and they'd much rather serve advertisers and shareholders than users. Keep their hateful content out of fediverse!
If your instance isn't blocking #threads, always remember that you can block the threads.net domain yourself.
Letting a paedophile babysit your children makes about as much sense as letting Meta federate with the Fediverse. Oh, they're charming and seem sincere? That's makes it all better, then. Sorry I fretted.
Meta are provably Evil, a place where evils of all degrees throng like flies around shit. If Gargron et al won't reconsider or even adhere to their own guidelines about problematic servers, then their servers should also be cast out to live among the Truth.socials, because they're effectively saying they don't give a steaming pile about what the Fediverse stands for or the users therein.
Leute, die #Fedipact oder #Fediblock als die heilige Kuh in der #Fediverse verehren, glauben auch noch an den Osterhasen, oder? Dabei ist dies nichts anderes wie eine virtuelle Hexenjagd.
Wann wird endlich kapiert, dass ein Block auf Instanzebene immer nur die letzte Wahl bei ganz bestimmten "Themen" sein soll. Ein Block auf Userebene ist immer besser und deswegen zu bevorzugen. Und ja, das trifft auch bei diesem leidigen Thema #Threads zu!
