@garry@toot.cat

I am an amateur photographer, musician, trained psychotherapist, computer programmer, writer, and more. I share photos, bad jokes, and posts on tech, science, medicine, health, the environment, and other similar subjects.

Currently (March 2023) also sharing "Today's AI News and Comments"

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

woozle, to random

What if I...

  • set up an instance specifically for federating with Threads, for people who do want a window into that space
  • (maybe using one of the lower-maintenance ActivityPub packages)
  • ...but also allow spambots to sign up

Are there people who want access to the Metaverse but also see the value in trying to make it unlivable? (Would it be likely that Threads would de-federate from a spammy instance, or is that "free speech" and therefore automatically good, or what?)

garry,

@woozle I'll just be looking more closely at the instance URLs of people I might want to follow, or who follow me, and vetting Threads users more closely, provided I can actually see content they've posted.
