   Oh man, with @potus joining the Fediverse, there’s been an outpouring of salt. 😆

     @atomicpoet facebook implemented activitystreams years ago and abandoned it when it wasn't useful to them anymore. biden probably does not know he even has a fediverse

     It doesn’t matter if your server blocks Threads. It doesn’t matter if you block Threads.

     None of that changes the ultimate outcome – which is that the President of the USA has now joined the Fediverse.

     Threads is not going away, and you can’t bully Joe Biden off the Fediverse.

     @thendrix @atomicpoet wasn't that the last president? I think you will find a different legal atmosphere now!

     Hey, that’s interesting as federal courts found POTUS can’t block citizens… so threads can’t ban servers in theory.

     @paninid @samxavia @dogzilla @6G And what I’m saying is that what is or is not “acceptable” can’t be applied to the broad Fediverse at all because it varies drastically depending on server.

     You probably don’t see the worst of the Fediverse because mastodon.world blocks it. But then again, some servers block mastodon.world because they see it as the worst of the Fediverse – so take that for what it’s worth.

     AnthonyJK-Admin repeated this.

     @atomicpoet @samxavia @dogzilla @6G

     To clarify, my assertions apply to Mastodon, rather than “the Fediverse”.

     I haven’t found reason to migrate instances myself, because of the responsiveness and optionality provided by mastodon.world.

     I’m aware that I have the option of viewing and engaging with some of the worst. people. ever. at my discretion and the even. worse. I never see.

     I’m bearish on Threads, not because of the Fediverse, but because Meta culture and strategy are fncked.

     @atomicpoet @samxavia @dogzilla @6G

     I think the Overton Window frame for “acceptable” is much wider for Meta platforms than the range of instances that are federated here.

     That is my scientific wild-ass guess.

     @paninid @samxavia @dogzilla @6G It’s not true that stuff tolerated by Meta wouldn’t last long on any given Mastodon instance.

     Just yesterday, I blocked several servers for hosting content that’s so terrible, it would never be allowable on Meta.

     @samxavia @dogzilla @6G @atomicpoet

     I think it’s easier to declare defederation from Threads as a policy if you’re less exposed or aware of the toxic sewer system that is #ContentModeration.

     The stuff tolerated by Meta wouldn’t last very long on any given Mastodon instance.

     And yet.

     @dogzilla@metrobus.masto.host @6G@mastodon.social @paninid@mastodon.world @atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org I agree, The reason I enjoy the fediverse is that I wouldn't be able to communicate with anyone I really feel I want to, If there's something I don't think should be here I could report to the admin if it's illegal / unwanted for majority of people but if it's more personal, I'll just block it myself.
     
     Hopefully, one day I work out how to run my own Instance of Sharkey to run it the way I would.

     right, so many folks scream #meta bad #threads bad I have no idea how bad, it's just IMO, i dont want to subscribe to an #algorithm site

     It seems that everytime I hear a mention of a #telegramchannel in a news story, it indirectly means, #telegram bad

     IMO, Telegram is just a great email replacement for friends

     @6G @paninid @atomicpoet @samxavia I love the Mastodon community, but there are some extremely vocal people who don’t quite grasp the concept of decentralization: they seem to want to control what everyone can see.

     Don’t want to see Threads or BlueSky? Fine, block them. Do it at your account level, or at the server level if you’re an admin. But trying to block them from the Fediverse as a whole is just gross.

     @samxavia No, half of the Fediverse did not block Threads. A loud portion of it did, though. But just because someone’s loud doesn’t mean they persuaded most servers to block.

     @atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org Yes threads are not going away, and it is annoying that half the Fediverse blocked it on the pure basis of it being to do with META. I hope that in time Threads shows their true hand and sees that they are just trying to get their slice of the Fediverse.
