Woe is the individual who likes government agencies and celebrities I suppose.

The irony is govt agencies running on commercial social media they have little to no control over

jsh ,

I'd be lying if I said I didn't see it. 💀

Franconian_Nomad ,

Wow, both instances I’m on (Lemmy and Mastodon) blocking Threads. I’m proud
of my admins!

THE_ANON ,

Yep that are the kind of people fit to run the fediverse

I think because their instances don’t have enough content or interactions. Including threads isn’t necessarily going to fix it, it’ll just provide threads with more content that’s not on threads. People who want to use these admins instances are already using it, threads users aren’t going to migrate simply because these admins have included threads. In short, you’ve let in the fucking Trojans haven’t you? Did you let in the Trojans? Because I think that’s what you’ve done, you nimrods.

Tbh I've been on here for a year now and I still don't know what this means 😬

It says Threads is federated for my instance, which means it should show up in my scrolling feed? But I've never seen a post and I sort by new...

If you mean lemmy.world, Lemmy doesn't display microblog posts unless they're posted to a community, which is a confusing process. Threads isn't fully federating right now anyway though. Even if you're on Mastodon, you'll only be a able to see posts from specific Threads accounts who have had federation enabled, which is mostly just a few engineers iirc.

Threads isn’t fully federated, meaning currently there aren’t a lot of Thread posts on the Fediverse. Also, since Lemmy isn’t like Threads (compared to mastodon), you won’t really see any posts. Overall Threads is mostly a Mastodon problem (though lemmy is also effected) and you probably won’t experience a big difference

Ok obviously no zuck, but that image do be kinda hot like yes make me lick your boots zaddy 🥵

sub_ubi ,

I don't think there's a good reason to avoid threads so long as it contains good and interesting users, and isn't making huge demands from your users.

@captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works avatar

It doesn't though? Facebook's employers and users are 100% garbage people.

sub_ubi ,

If you think everyone who uses facebok is garbage then the problem is you, you're a misanthrope.

captain_aggravated ,
@captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works avatar

I probably am a misanthrope, but that doesn't change the fact that anyone remaining on Facebook, Twitter, or even Reddit at this point, are bots, corporate shills, misinformation campaigns from enemy nations, or the idiots who have looked around at what's going on with their platform and went "Yeah I'll keep using this."

lol so my grandma is a garbage person because she hasn’t rage deleted her facebook account and setup shop on some federated instance where absolutely none of her family and remaining friends are while having to learn some completely new & often actively hostile interface. alright

captain_aggravated ,
@captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yep. Knowing grandparent aged people, probably for more reasons than that.

am already escape facebook

spujb OP ,

the “huge demand from your users” will immediately be having to deal with meta’s attrocious history with moderation and user safety being repeated.

honestly my threads feed is pretty good and i havent noticed too many issues with the things that plagued twitter. the trans community is pretty big on threads too which is nice.

sub_ubi ,

I wonder if you can whitelist certain users, rather than the entire server

Eldritch ,
@Eldritch@lemmy.world avatar

Exactly. And if they can't behave, we can always defederate later. I don't see the rush.

@sour@kbin.social avatar

is have no more backbone than chocolate eclair

KuroeNekoDemon ,

Thank god my admin blocked them outright

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Same with mine! I don't think it was ever considered an option not to, and I madly respect that

ImplyingImplications ,

Same with lemmy.ca

capital ,

My god. Can you imagine taking < 30 seconds to just do it yourself? You might have died.

@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I assume that people with those attitudes "miss what Twitter used to be."

Miss me with that shit, Twitter was always a shithole and Jack Dorsey was always a Nazi-protecting piece of shit.

Zuck and Meta ain't no better.

who the dick would want to see Threads posts

@atocci@kbin.social avatar

There are lots of people on there I would like to follow, but they wont be joining the fediverse and I don't want to make a Threads account myself either.

kzhe ,

Me. Are there any small instances that won't defed?

pewgar_seemsimandroid ,

get the block

kzhe ,

...OK then? I don't see any incentive to block me because I don't think EEE can happen?

Daft_ish ,

If it helps kill twitter?

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Meet the new Twitter, same as the old Twitter.

tigerjerusalem ,

Lots of illustrators and writers have Threads and Instagram because it's where the money is. They rely on that kind of exposure to sell and show their work. Following from Mastodon without a Threads account would be awesome.

Not to mention that many Mastodon users are ridiculously "purists" saying that no ad or sell should be on the network, ever, and are actively hostile to the small guys trying to make a living here. I agreed that big corps can fuck off because they overdo ads, but the small guy selling his weird contraptions or custom phone cases should see Mastodon as an alternative. But the truth is that they won't.

rabiddolphin ,
@rabiddolphin@lemmy.world avatar

People are delusional. Most books sell less than 5000 copies their entire lifetime. Most illustrators are LARPing freelancers who get paid in exposure.

tigerjerusalem ,

Source?

THE_ANON ,

Yeah its gross

I hope they reconsider
