threads is paying people to post with their "bonus program" and yes ofc it's scummy lmao

The Threads bonus is an invite-only bonus program that lets you earn money on your Threads content... Based on the performance [and] number of posts you create.

is this really the vibe we want them bringing to the fediverse???

Why Meta is looking to the fediverse as the future for social media

“You could imagine an extension to the protocol eventually — of saying like, ‘I want to support micropayments,’ or … like, ‘hey, feel free to show me ads, if that supports you.’ Kind of like a way for you to self-label or self-opt-in. That would be great,” Cottle noted, speaking casually. Whether or not Meta would find a way to get a cut of those micropayments, of course, remains to be seen.

hey @Gargron what are your thoughts on FediPact?

FediPact, 1 month ago to FediPact

why should we federate with them when...

"extreme anti-trans hate content remains widespread across instagram, facebook, and threads. characterized by fear-mongering, lies, conspiracy theories, dehumanizing tropes, and violent rhetoric, these posts — many by high-follower accounts — aim to boost engagement, generate revenue, and seed hateful narratives about trans, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming people. these accounts profit from such hate, and so does meta and its shareholders"

FediPact, 1 month ago to FediPact

REMEMBER:

1. fedipact signatures are vetted and added manually whenever i feel up to it, give me time lmao
2. messaging me on my main account and asking me to add you IS NOT A SIGNATURE. i will do my best to bookmark it and try to remember, but i will probably forget. PLEASE use the cryptpad form unless you are literally unable to. i try to keep fedipact stuff separated from my regular account because it stresses me out lol

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 @vantablack @nm Hi, sorry to bother you — it looks like social.lol has been incorrectly listed on both https://fedipact.online and https://fedipact.veganism.social. The person who signed the pact meant well but they’re not an admin/owner and can’t really speak for the social.lol instance. I’m sorry for the confusion and I appreciate your help in correcting the error. Thanks!

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

⚠️ threads’ fediverse beta opens to share your posts on mastodon, too ⚠️

"threads is rolling out a beta of its fediverse integration in the us, canada, and japan. in a post on thursday, meta ceo mark zuckerberg announced that toggling on the feature will let you cross-post and view likes from other federated platforms, like mastodon."

me, vanta, trans enby girl polyam lesbian gender terrorist: "people should block threads because it will make fedi unsafe for queer people"

the verge, for some reason: "OBVIOUSLY it's a bunch of NERD BOYS trying to keep the WOMEN out"

#FediPact #meta #threads

video from the "Meta and Reddit prove the social web is over" episode of the vergecast where they talk about fedipact and say it's all just a bunch of "dude nerds" trying to keep women out because "no girls allowed"
