Shadow .Net Domains: How Instagram, YouTube, Etcetera, Can “Easily” Enter The Fediverse
Threads as a fun monster, with his shadow companions behind him. After Meta acquired the Threads.com domain for an undisclosed sum last year, I noticed that Threads.com began forwarding to Threads.net (which included username handles). Several months later, Adam Mosseri (then head of Threads and current CEO of Instagram) announced that Threads on the web would operate on the .com…

Jak donosi @FediPact tutaj -> https://cyberpunk.lol/@FediPact/114394170936456718
Meta zmieniła domenę Threads z Threads.net na Threads.com
Kto blokował .net, powinien dodać regułę dla .com
P.S. Meta wprowadziła też reklamy na Threads, więc możecie mówić znajomym, że Fedi to lepsze Threads bez reklam 😉
I have defederated Threads.net from cyberplace.social as prior announced two weeks ago, due to policy enforcement that aligns them hate sites like Kiwi Farms.
I am pro-federation. I only fully suspend 6 instances here, with 4 of those containing child porn, so Meta joins a unique club.
I will remove the block if they revise their policies and enforcement to sound less like a 7 year old boy on 8chan.
As for instances:
1. Vivaldi social (Mastodon mainline)
2. C.wtf (Rebase/Soapbox)
3. Bookwyrm.social (flagship)
4. C.im (Mastodon mainline)
5. Pixelfed.social (flagship)
6. Threads.net
7. Aleph.land (Glitch-soc, fork of Mastodon)
8. Fedia.social (Iceshrimp, fork of Misskey)
9. catodon.social (Catodon/Iceshrimp/Firefish)
10. Node9.org (or any Hubzilla instances that can connect to Bridgy, since you can have one and the same connected profiles in any Hubzilla instances if you want)
Threads.net has been suspended on this server (darkmoon.social) due to Meta's policy decisions that enable systemic abuse and disinformation across its platforms.
This is a decision I've been mulling over for a while now, and recent events have pushed me to finally pull the trigger. I will not associate with fascists, even by proxy. I'm sorry to lose access to good content by people who have accounts there, but enough is enough.

Looking for a new server. Any recommendations?
There are a few reasons for the transition, one of them being that graphics.social is federated with Threads.net. I have the domain blocked for the time being, but I feel like one last move to a community that aligns more with my values is the right choice.
I am:
Pro democracy
Makes art
A regular poindexter
Atheist
Neurodivergent
Cat, frog and fish dad 🐱 🐸 🐟
I just want to exist for the long term where I am most welcome.
