Hey there, you're tagging my old account, which is why I didn't respond as I didn't see your post. I check in on here now and then to let people know.

FediTips is now at @FediTips@social.growyourown.services and you can follow / message me there if you want any help.

@epp

It should work now, there was a freak bug on Vivaldi.net that blocked some newer accounts. The bug has since been fixed, so please follow me at @FediTips@social.growyourown.services

📣 I'm moving the FediTips account to another server.

The new address to follow is:

➡️ @FediTips@social.growyourown.services

I'm just about to start the automatic migration procedure, so it should move your follow over to the new account seamlessly, but if you want to follow the new account manually straight away you can do so (it won't mess anything up).

The new server is my own one, it's where FediFollows, FediVideo etc are already.

If there are any problems, contact my personal account at @FediThing

@robianhood

No worries, it happens! 😁

It doesn't really work that well, it is essentially closing your eyes while Threads is posting all around you on your server.

People who belong to vulnerable groups are especially not well served by relying on user-level blocks.

Considering Meta's awful human rights record, would strongly recommend asking your server admin to defederate Threads at a server level. That's the only real way to keep their toxicity out of your community.

@DrAlexandraK @lawyersgunsnmoney @skykiss

The main FediPact list is at https://fedipact.online/ but unfortunately it's not organised into any kind of categories. There are public instances and single user instances mixed together in a big list.

(Hopefully something better will appear soon, just working on something at moment but can't promise anything yet.)

@robianhood @stupidjim

The list is for server-level blocks by admins. I think Jim was asking about user-level domain blocks?

@stupidjim

I'm not sure if servers can even see you've blocked them?

There's nothing in the Masto admin interface for this, at least.

@stupidjim

Sort of, but it won't be as effective as a server defederation.

Users blocking a server basically just hides stuff from that server, and removes any follows you have from that server. It's more like closing your eyes to them than actually restricting them.

You can do a "domain block" by clicking on the profile of a person from that server, then clicking ︙ on their profile, and then "block domain".

@gadgetfrog

Wanting a standard to become common doesn't mean you should federate with a server that has a terrible human rights record.

Does this sound like someone who should be in charge of content moderation policy?

"Facebook will continue to offer a platform to Holocaust deniers, Infowars, and other publishers of hoaxes on the assumption that they are sincere in their beliefs, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said."

1. Meta/Facebook has a horrific track record on human rights:

2. Meta/Facebook is trying to join the Fediverse. We need to defederate them.

3. If you're a server admin, please defederate Meta's domain "threads.net" (here's how on Mastodon https://fedi.tips/how-to-defederate-fediblock-a-server-on-mastodon/)

4. If you don't run your own server, please ask your server admin to defederate "threads.net". Your admin is listed on your server website's About page.
