The Mastodon instances that I’m a member of have all preemptively defederated and I am very supportive. Just occurred to me we could still see the threads folks over here. What do you guys think? How does this instance feel about Meta?...
TOS can change at their whim. Even if the TOS started out decent it would change as soon as they were established. Severing threads once the user base is entrenched would be much more difficult than not allowing federation from the start.
Not really a primary point of your post, but you might consider that recent history, and history in general, provide many examples where sexism, racism, and transphobia do not remotely depend on anonymity.
At least in the corporate sphere there is a large overlap between shitty people and those that don't value privacy.
Dealing with an enormous corporation with an extensive track record of exploiting similar scenarios and acting on bad faith...
Yeah, it's pretty rational to believe this time will also be reflective of their general modus operandi.
You've mounted an emphatic defense of Facebook based almost exclusively on the fact people in this thread don't know exactly the technical details of what fuckery they'll be up to this time. I'm left wondering if you have any understanding of people, history, or... context as a concept.
You have provided a good sounding board for others to illustrate just what the risks involved are. So, thank you for that.
I got this fun fee after trying to order takeout from Buffalo Wild Wings (yes I'm naming and shaming). How exactly does adding a dollar help you operate takeout? It's literally less work than waiting on a table. This is nothing more than a shameful cash grab to pad profits....
I never was a big social media guy. Never had a Facebook or anything, except what google forced on me like Google+ and on reddit, I just used it for very specific tasks, when I couldn't find answers anywhere else....
The communities are still developing, but they'll likely always be more fractured than Reddit was. Right now users, especially lurkers, are congregating to the most active instances and communities. Sounds like those aren't the communities you're most involved with.
The other thing to keep in mind is that the user history and contributions that Reddit is built on generally don't exist here yet.
As you look around and get a feel for things I think you'll find it feels more active and engaging than your initial impression.
Anyone well known who wants to speak out about what's been happening on reddit? Louis Rossmann? Apollo dev? John Oliver (one can dream)... or maybe former Reddit mods who were kicked out?...
Something closer to the original community on Reddit would work very well...
It didn't just start out as "celebrities interacting with the peasants" as another commenter pointed out. It was really people (or sometimes jackasses pretending to be real people) answering questions about their life and experiences.

Has there been any talk of defederating Meta/Threads?

A drunken wizard offers you $20 million if you let him send you to the world of the last video game you played, and you survive for one year. Do you accept?
What game is it and how are you doing?...

The exchange is about Meta's upcoming ActivityPub-enabled network Threads. Meta is calling for a meeting, his response is priceless!
