Gee whiz. Massive abusive tech surveillance company doesn't do what they promised. Shocking NO ONE.

queue@todon.eu - Reminder to anyone who said "Meta wouldn't do anything to Fediverse, we should let them join!"
Meta is now automatically muting all posts that mention PixelFed, so it's users can't read about any alternatives to its services.

Just remember, *Every time advocacy groups warn about tech/capitalism, believe them.* We don't make shit up, we use history of actions and facts to state our reasons to be against it.
If your instance isn't part of @FediPact please urge your admins to join or move to another instance who is.
And if you want proof, ask the general public what Jabber/XMPP was, and then ask what Google how they killed it.
EDIT: *Please* send support to the creator of the FediPact, @vantablack as she is homeless. This is possible because of them.

EDIT #2: Some peppe are saying it doesn't happen anymore, but since it only happened to competitors to Facebook and only after people noticed, I don't think it was a "bug" that only impacted FOSS replacements, but a feature for Facebook removed. Don't give these Zuckers gaslight and think they remain innocent.
thanks to feedback and help from peeps on here i've made some changes to https://fedipact.online to fix some accessibility issues with the previous version of the site
🖤 there's now a toggle button to swap the background and text (dark mode), and it respects the user's system preference on first load
🖤 there's another toggle button for the animated floating hearts, in addition to them being off if the user has "reduced motion" enabled
🖤 the heart bullet points are formatted properly now so each individual one isn't read out repetitively by screenreaders
🖤 links are now underlined to be obvious as links
if there's any other changes you can think of to make the fedipact experience better for everyone, feel free to send them my way 😁
some accessibility concerns with https://fedipact.online have been brought to my attention and i'm working on addressing them. more specifically, the readability of the color contrast and the animations
i wanna put a button on there that flips the text and background colors, making it hot pink on black, and disables the animated floating hearts (they're already disabled if the user has "reduced motion" on)
i just... don't have the web design skills necessary to do so lol. BUT someone else is working on it!!! so it should be fixed and better soonsies
thanks to everyone who pointed this out :heart_cyber_pink:
i think the most annoying thing about this whole discourse is that people refuse to judge threads by the standard of any other fedi instance
like if a mastodon instance got set up and federated right now and it allowed the shit threads allowed it'd be widely defederated IMMEDIATELY
there are accounts literally CALLING FOR THE DEATHS OF QUEER PEOPLE on there right fucking now
the only reason people are even willing to give them a chance is because it's a big corpo, but that should only be reason to give them less of one lmao. especially considering meta's history in particular
don't let them lower the bar for moderation standards here
REMEMBER: it's NEVER too late to sign the FediPact!!!
with the nefarious behemoth known as "threads" looming over the horizon, threatening to encroach upon our homes more and more each day, ask YOUR instance admin about signing the pact and committing to defederating it today!!!!!
"i know there’s a ton of skepticism about meta entering the fediverse — it’s completely understandable. i do want to kind of make a plea that i think everyone on the team has really good intentions. we really want to be a good member of the community and give people the ability to experience what the fediverse is."
i just really wanted fediforum peeps to know about FediPact since it seems like that's mentioned so much less when talking of meta's threads these days
there used to be whole articles about it, now "skepticism about threads joining the fediverse" is only ever mentioned in passing
it's almost like the uncomfortable contributions of marginalized women get swept aside and ignored consistently in life lol
we are now at over 700 signatures!!! thanks so much for your support, everyone!!!!! together we can keep the fediverse a safe and cozy place free from corporate control!!!!!!!!!!
Some of you may be aware that I also cover professional #wrestling - that weird wonderful sport-art where the industry has a history of abuse and workers are largely non-unionised - from a "leftist" angle, via @theleftfist but I'm aware it's best to stick to smaller servers that are part of the #FediPact. Perhaps I could shift it to Todon.nl if @admin would have it? What say you, anticapitalist and antifascist #ProWrestling fans here on the Todon severs (and beyond)? https://linktr.ee/theleftfist
