you may find this bot useful for your personal blocklist.

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 ?

Bearing in mind this thread

https://mastodon.online/@Penguinflight/112147481106908261

I'm on the search for a well run #Instance that is #Meta / #Threads free. I have #Mastofriends in #Europe particularly so any instances there that are safe (and that would HAVE me) would be cool. But in any case, I'm after a new safe home where I'm sure the "blocked_domains.csv" will take effect, and that can tolerate an idle fucker who posts a lot of pictures (with Alt Txt, naturally).

@actuallyautistic I think I'm going to migrate to an instance that's part of

Also, when I created this account I thought I'd be posting about software, but I mainly post about autism, so a more autistic centered instance is probably better for me.

Which instance(s) would you recommend?

FediPact, to FediPact
@FediPact@cyberpunk.lol avatar

not an instance admin? you can still block threads!!!

do note, however, that it won't be as effective as an instance-level block on a technical level (your data will still be sent to meta, etc.)

FEDI PACT FUN FACT

if you're wondering why i didn't choose a more appropriate domain for https://fedipact.online

it's because i only had like $2 in my bank account when i was setting everything up lmao 😂

i picked what was cheap but relatively appropriate

#FediPact #meta #threads

@FediPact@cyberpunk.lol avatar

WHO WOULD WIN

a trans girl with $2 in her bank account just trying to keep her community safe

OR

a massively evil multi billion dollar megacorporation sticking its nose where it doesn't belong

boosts appreciated!!! :boostRequest:​

can somebody with more wikipedia editor clout than me please add a section on the "threads (social network)" page about fedipact?

or even just bring up on the talk page that it might be relevant to mention

i think this would help inform people about our cause lol

there are more than enough news articles about fedipact that could be cited

hiiiiiiiiiiii welcome to the NEW official account for The Anti-Meta Fedi Pact at https://fedipact.online/

The Pact was started on june 17th, 2023 by @vantablack as a way to defend against meta's intended incursion into the fediverse

it's basically a (very pretty) list of instances who've signed it and agreed to block project92/barcelona/threads whenever it appears

to read about vanta's personal reasons for creating The Pact you can visit https://fedipact.online/why

this is the appropriate account to tag for Pact related discussions from now on, please do not bother me on my main about it lol

BAN FUCKING NAZIS

it's such a low godddamn bar to clear

and yet, by and large, the fediverse is the only major social media platform that actually manages to do this (the decent sections of it, at least)

why? well, here's the big secret: BECAUSE WE DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT PROFIT

big companies allow nazis to fester on their services because it makes them money, and here we're not beholden to such a corrupting influence. that's kinda the entire point

:facebook: ☣️ FLOSS.social was launched in the (now small) Mastodon signup wave at the end of March 2018, as a result of the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

Since then, has shown little to no sincere interest in reforming their culture of abusing their users' human rights of privacy.

As a result, there is no reason to suspect they'll be any different if they join the , and our instance will respond accordingly.

Or, to echo own terms:

A server may be added to our server blocklist if it doesn't comply with our guidelines for communicating with FLOSS.social.

We'll block a server if it repeatedly or severely fails to meet our Community Code of Conduct, including via admins or moderators.

something in me died yesterday, when threads opened up the beta for federation

this place will never be the same 😢

i should've tried getting fedipact mentioned on wikipedia like nine months ago lmao

i guess i just didn't realize it'd be possible for me to change that (indirectly) 😂

@vantablack@cyberpunk.lol avatar

my favorite thing about the new updated more accessible version of https://fedipact.online is that, now, no matter which way you slice it, the colors of the page form some version of the trans flag

pink background, light blue highlights, black text, and white links

(also links are animated rainbows if you mouse over them, so, even more pride!!!)

if there's one thing FediPact has taught me

it's to disregard people with wrong opinions lmao

i wouldn't be able to keep doing what i do if i took every little criticism of it to heart!!!

i know i'm doing the right thing. that's enough for me
