ADHD win: I finally got around to updating the data for https://fedipact.veganism.social after putting it off for like 3 months.

Data was collected from roughly 43,000 instances, about half were offline and discarded.

I'm gonna make a prediction about Threads: they're going to put pressure on the big servers (that are federating with them) to ban sex work and porn "for community safety." And the people who run them will uncritically just accept that's true.

And they'll do it, ineffectually, but they will.

how long until threads threatens to or actually does start blocking mastodon.social for allowing nudity?

would dot social bend the knee in that scenario and change their policy? probably

#FediPact #meta #threads

Post photos and videos that are appropriate for a diverse audience. We know that there are times when people might want to share nude images that are artistic or creative in nature, but for a variety of reasons, we don’t allow nudity on Instagram. This includes photos, videos, and some digitally-created content that show sexual intercourse, genitals, and close-ups of fully-nude buttocks. It also includes some photos of female nipples, but photos in the context of breastfeeding, birth giving and after-birth moments, health-related situations (for example, post-mastectomy, breast cancer awareness or gender confirmation surgery) or an act of protest are allowed. Nudity in photos of paintings and sculptures is OK, too. People like to share photos or videos of their children. For safety reasons, there are times when we may remove images that show nude or partially-nude children. Even when this content is shared with good intentions, it could be used by others in unanticipated ways. You can learn more on our Tips for Parents page.
Sexually explicit or violent media must be marked as sensitive or with a content warning This includes content that is particularly provocative even if it may not show specific body parts, as well as dead bodies, bloody injuries, and other gore. Particularly obscene content may be prohibited entirely. Profile pictures and header images may not contain sexually explicit or violent media.

NEW: Meta is failing to moderate extreme anti-trans content across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, according to a new GLAAD report.

Meta’s hate and harassment policies prohibit targeting people on the basis of their protected characteristics, including sexual orientation and gender identity.

So why are Instagram, Facebook, and Threads full of extreme anti-trans hate?

So fuckin angry at my ISP making me do a #mutualaid

$0/100 replacement router so we can do our fucking work

My partner @raptorchildcreations and I have been working really hard to get self hosted solutions going for a number of web services, most importantly we're launching their art portfolio soon along with art sales & comms and we had gotten so damned close

Then Spectrum sent us a replacement modem and router after the old one finally kicked it. And this router... it fucking sucks. Y'all i have tried everything. I'm a tech person, I know what I'm doing, this thing is just fucked. Can't even re-flash it with OpenWRT. No way we can self host, let alone have a stable internet connection in our own home.

Spectrum does not want to replace, they want to send out a technician, which I already know is bullshit, and they want to bill us for it, which will cost as much or more than a new router anyway. So I just want to future proof myself from the beginning.

I don't have a specific model picked out. But I don't need something amazing, just something with 2.4ghz, 5ghz and some ethernet ports on the back that I can throw OpenWRT on.

Anything you can do is appreciated. We're kind of fucked over by this, pretty badly. #mutualaid

Ah, is that time again for unsolicited opinions about #threads and #Meta let's gooo. Spoiler alert: If you like corporate social media, you are not going to like this thread🧵

18+ xgranade, 2 months ago to random

No matter what else happens as a result of federation w/ Threads, related discourse, or anything else, the fediverse got a lot less safe for trans folks today.

I firmly believe that it's OK to feel sad about that.

queue, 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago) to FediPact

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.

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
