   Hi all. Given the recent announcement from Meta about AI personas and allowed behavior, I am moving threads.net back to a limit, and will likely move them to a block in the future on infosec.exchange. I can’t ignore the reality that the changes they’re making are specifically intended to permit attacks on many of the people that call this place home. I won’t rule out that they walk the changes back, which is why I’m not jumping to sever the nearly 4000 mutual follow relationships between people on threads and here.

     My pessimistic take on the situation: Think of the worst thing they can do, and they'll do it. Meta, Threads, and that ecosystem seem to have shown their hands. They seem to side on hostility and it will be used for evil.

     @jerry better late than never. But frankly? They didn't go bad overnight. They always have been. Cambridge Analytica was five years ago.

     Every instance who blocked Threads the moment it began doesn't have nearly 4,000 mutual connections to worry about.

     If people want to interact with the billionnaire nazi platform, they have to be on the nazi platform and pay the price, in the form of ads and nazi posts on their timeline. A better social media and interacting with Facebook are fundamentally incompatible.

     You tried to have your cake and eat it too, and you still seem convined you can make it work.
