@tokyo_0 @vantablack @adam @bixfrankonis @FediTips i am not in charge of https://fedipact.veganism.social you want @nm
we are now at 767 signatures and counting!!!!!
that's seven hundred and sixty-seven instance admins and mods who've decided to defederate the shit outta threads and take a stand against meta!!!!!!!!!!
:FediPact:
"federating with threads is still worth it!"
it's like... tell me you give less than zero fucks about trans people without telling me you give less than zero fucks about trans people lol
i think the whole framing of fedipact and the meta surrounding blocking threads as being "mere drama" is really fucking annoying
like... this might just be a small inconvenience to you, but this is a matter of SAFETY for us. it's about keeping our communities free from harm, both in the short and long term
brushing it aside as simple internet drama just shows you don't really give a fuck about what happens to us
i think the most annoying thing about this whole discourse is that people refuse to judge threads by the standard of any other fedi instance
like if a mastodon instance got set up and federated right now and it allowed the shit threads allowed it'd be widely defederated IMMEDIATELY
there are accounts literally CALLING FOR THE DEATHS OF QUEER PEOPLE on there right fucking now
the only reason people are even willing to give them a chance is because it's a big corpo, but that should only be reason to give them less of one lmao. especially considering meta's history in particular
don't let them lower the bar for moderation standards here
why should we federate with them when...
"extreme anti-trans hate content remains widespread across instagram, facebook, and threads. characterized by fear-mongering, lies, conspiracy theories, dehumanizing tropes, and violent rhetoric, these posts — many by high-follower accounts — aim to boost engagement, generate revenue, and seed hateful narratives about trans, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming people. these accounts profit from such hate, and so does meta and its shareholders"
fedipact signatures are vetted and added manually whenever i feel up to it, give me time lmao
messaging me on my main account and asking me to add you IS NOT A SIGNATURE. i will do my best to bookmark it and try to remember, but i will probably forget. PLEASE use the cryptpad form unless you are literally unable to. i try to keep fedipact stuff separated from my regular account because it stresses me out lol
it's meta
it's meta
IT'S META
it's such a low godddamn bar to clear
and yet, by and large, the fediverse is the only major social media platform that actually manages to do this (the decent sections of it, at least)
why? well, here's the big secret: BECAUSE WE DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT PROFIT
big companies allow nazis to fester on their services because it makes them money, and here we're not beholden to such a corrupting influence. that's kinda the entire point
what if i signed up for the next FediForum to talk about FediPact and why people should defederate threads lmao
i think there'll be one more this year before threads fully federates
that would be funny probably
some accessibility concerns with https://fedipact.online have been brought to my attention and i'm working on addressing them. more specifically, the readability of the color contrast and the animations
i wanna put a button on there that flips the text and background colors, making it hot pink on black, and disables the animated floating hearts (they're already disabled if the user has "reduced motion" on)
i just... don't have the web design skills necessary to do so lol. BUT someone else is working on it!!! so it should be fixed and better soonsies
thanks to everyone who pointed this out :heart_cyber_pink:
"during the fediforum conference, meta demonstrated what it might look like to toggle on fediverse sharing and post across multiple platforms"
https://www.theverge.com/24106231/threads-fediverse-demo-meta-fediforum
with the nefarious behemoth known as "threads" looming over the horizon, threatening to encroach upon our homes more and more each day, ask YOUR instance admin about signing the pact and committing to defederating it today!!!!!
December 2023 – A user will be able to opt in via the Threads app to have their posts visible to Mastodon clients. People would be able to reply and like those posts using their Mastodon clients, but those replies and likes would not be visible within the Threads application. Threads users would not be able to follow or see posts published across Mastodon servers, or reply to them or like then.
Early 2024 (Part One) – the Like counts on the Threads app would combine likes from Mastodon and Threads users
Early 2024 (Part Two) – replies posted on Mastodon servers would be visible in the Threads application
Late 2024 – A “mixed” Fediverse and Threads experience where you will be able to follow Mastodon users within Threads, and reply to them and like them
TBD – Full blended interoperability between Threads and Mastodon

The Pact was started on june 17th, 2023 by @vantablack as a way to defend against meta's intended incursion into the fediverse
it's basically a (very pretty) list of instances who've signed it and agreed to block project92/barcelona/threads whenever it appears
