Wait is this a thing, have they said this already? (I fully assume they will but missed it if they already have)

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it's referring to Threads.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 35 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, but has threads made an official statement like this yet on defederation rules? I'm an instance owner so I'm pretty sure I'd just reply back "lol"

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 year ago

I saw that mentioned on Mastodon, but honestly don't care enough about Threads to actually look at their TOS. Seems likely though given they're all about making it as bland and corporate friendly as possible.

Does it have to be said? If you allow certain things they're definitely blocking you

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

no of course not, it's obvious, I was just surprised they already said the quiet part out loud, right now they seem to be all "buddy buddy" like we're all stupid

[–] Jimbo@yiffit.net 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well there are apparently users here who want to see Threads content. I don't know why you would want that, and here of all places...

I mean, I wish celebrities were jumping on other options rather than "ooo shiny new facebook", they're the only ones I would personally follow, but other than that if you want to follow me choose a platform that federates

[–] Kushia@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

They can sign up a free account on Threads, no need to bring that here.

Exactly. Every instance will defederate from another if they are not acting in the way that they want. I don't see why Threads would be any different.

I guess the difference may be that the policies are much more restrictive rather than something like "is a frequent source of spam and hate speech" but there is always going to be a policy.

Please use this official mascot for Calckey because it's funnier Calckey mascot smoking a blunt

"We will defederate you!" "Ok me first"

[–] ZekeSulastin@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn’t that what every instance already does?

[–] Trifictional@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea but the difference is most instances have ethical reasons for banning certain content.

Meta could randomly decide anti-meta content doesn’t belong on their platform. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is already the case.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[you have been banned from Threads]

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

“You can’t ban me because I quit”

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

"You can't quit, you're a lizard."

[–] nekat_emanresu@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll believe it when I see it. The fact they allowed it the first step on the majority of instances(by user count) means when we cool off they will win the next step too.

[–] rarely@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Think of meta like reddit. Don't want to be on facebook via federation? Just post jonny O or NSFW. Not like facebook is going to do anything but defederate from your instance. Kind of like how all instances work.

[–] nekat_emanresu@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm surprised that nsfw spam is a viable trick. It makes sense, it just feels so weird to be viable. I'd expect it to mysteriously become against the rules as per my above post though. I'd prefer to talk about meta and their help towards genocide etc though. I'll have to start making a list of their dirty deeds.

[–] rarely@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Thats some good stuff for a bot to keep signing up and posting to facebook proper. But don't listen to me I have bad ideas

Lmao wait did they actually try that…?

[–] mawkler@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's the name of the fediverse services in the image, beside Mastodon and Pixelfed?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The three triangles is PeerTube, the F is Friendica, and don't recognize the last one.

[–] skylestia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

i think that's Calckey, another microblogging software like Mastodon with an arguably prettier interface

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Ah yeah that sounds right.
