Tensions are running high over the imminent entry of InstaGrope into the verse, via Meta's Threads server. Some of you may have noticed me speaking up against the Anti-Fedi Meta Pact, and I want to clarify a few things I think are important.1) I'm *not* arguing against admins moderating their servers' relationships with others. That's nobody's business but theirs. If an admin makes a case-by-case decision to defederate from Threads, well, that's fediverse moderation working as intended.(1/?)

2) Nothing I'm saying is about defending Meta. I wouldn't piss on the scumbags that own and control that simulated psychopath, if they were on fire. To anyone who knows my background as a tech activist over 25 years or so - let alone as a green anarchist before and throughout that time - this ought to go without saying. But something about the heat of contentious online debates seem to have a melting effect on *context*. Even here.(2/?)

So if I'm cool with case-by-case defederation decisions by admins, and I don't want Meta's sticky fingers in our business any more than anyone else does, what exactly is my gripe with the Anti-Fedi Meta Pact? Why do I call it that? Well, that subtle rearrangement of the word order points to what my concerns are.(3/?)

3) In a nutshell, the Pact is based on guilt-by-association. Being on a server owned by Meta is being treated as a crime worthy of banishment.Sometimes an 'I'm not racist, but...' person will have a bad experience with one PoC, and hold that up as "proof" that they're all dangerous criminals, I hope we can all see why that's not only bigoted, but *logically flawed*. Entire groups are not responsible for every action of everyone they might be associated with in one way or another.(4/?)

By the same token, it's deeply unjust to hold every person on a Meta-owned server responsible for the bad behaviour of others using it. Or for the contemptible business practices of Meta themselves.Mastodon admins have a choice to Limit federation with the Meta server, without people who escape from Meta (to their server) being completely cut off from their friends who haven't escaped yet. This will help more people escape Meta, which is what we all want.Right?(5/?)

Which leads me to...4) It's equally unjust to hold fediverse admins responsible for Meta's failings, if they choose not to defederate from that server. They have the same right to have their federation choices respected as the admins who do choose to defederate.Some admins are staunchly defending the autonomy of their moderation choices (and rightly so), while threatening to defederate others for making different choices (ummm...). The hypocrisy does not escape me.(6/?)

More importantly these threats to defederate anyone who doesn't, are profoundly counter-productive. For at least three reasons.a) As I said upthread, it risks helping Meta keep people using its server trapped there.b) It gives Meta's PR flacks ammunition to undermine things like the EU Digital Markets Act that are trying to force DataFarms to interoperate. 'What's the point', they'll ask, 'when the whiners don't even want to when we try?'.(7/?)

c) It breaks solidarity among fedi admins. It forecloses on our ability to respond as a *movement*. It makes our response to Meta into a war of all against all. When what's needed is open communication, consensus-finding, and creative adaptation.We can Aikido this shit! Turn Meta's arrival against the whole practice of DataFarming.We can find ways to compost the dung of Meta's entry so it fertilizes our network of community gardens. But only if we hold faith, and work *together*.(8/?)

First thing I ought to have said:0) I have total faith in the good intentions of the people behind the Anti-Meta Fedi Pact. I applaud people's willingness to make a public stand against any DataFarmers, *especially* Meta. We are on the same side here.What I'm trying with all my comments on this is to argue for a different approach to strategy. Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong. I trust everyone involved to use their own best judgment and decide for themselves.#AntiMetaFediPact

@strypey The problem I have with this, respectfully, is that it has such "Why not stay within the Democratic Party and fight for Left policies within it?" vibes, when actual experience has shown that that approach has utterly failed to achieve any progress.The issue here is not individual instances federating with Meta/Threads; it's the aggressive threat that Meta's fundamental operational business/social media model is to the very concept of the Fediverse.

"We have been advocating for interoperability between platforms for years. The biggest hurdle to users switching platforms when those platforms become exploitative is the lock-in of the social graph, the fact that switching platforms means abandoning everyone you know and who knows you. The fact that large platforms are adopting ActivityPub is... a path forward for people locked into these platforms to switch to better providers."John Mastodonhttps://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/07/what-to-know-about-threads/

There's plenty that John Mastodon and I have disagreed about since he introduced Mastodon to the fediverse (which at that time was dominated by GNU social servers federating over OStatus). But sometimes he really is the voice of reason, and his stance on Threads is bang on.

@strypey Of course, those who do decide to continue to federate with Threads are not responsible for the failings of Meta; no one is even arguing that. And, no one is pointing any guns to Fedi admins threatening to nuke their instances if they do federate with Threads. However, to say that we who do favor defederation should have no right to be concerned with what federating with Threads could do to the entirety of the Fediverse, and that our calls to defederate...

@strypey There is also the issue of Meta's content policies, that directly impacts me personally as a Leftist/pro-sex worker activist. It is no secret that membership to Threads requires enrolling in Instagram/Meta, and if someone who is in Threads decides (s)he/they want to bail out of Threads, they have to completely delete their Meta/Instagram membership. Well, Instagram's content policies are well known for their discriminatory practices against sex workers, Indy Leftists...

@strypey ...and other marginalized folk who are also shunned by other major social media outlets and applications. Threads simply expands these censorious practices into the Fediverse, especially with ActivityPub incorporated. Therefore, those who do federate with Threads will be imposing those discriminatory practices into the Fediverse, threatening the livelihood and invading the spaces of instances here designed to escape that very status.

@strypeyBetween that, the removal of anonymity that Insta/Meta/Threads requires for the use of their app, the potential for overloading of small Fedi servers with cybertrash, & the goal of keeping the Fediverse independent from corporate capitalist control, I see no issue whatsoever with the #AntiMetaFediPact, and I continue to endorse & support it. We didn't leave Twitter & Bluesky just to have Zuckerberg attempt a buyout to impose the same nonsense here. Just a difference of opinion.

@AnthonyJKI also suggest you read Gargron's blog post about Threads in full, and do a bit of follow-up reading about how the fediverse is actually plumbed together. Because leaving out everything covered in the previous post, what's left is mostly based on plumbing misunderstandings. Including the actual scope of the power and influence one server can have over another, which is constrained - by design - in the ActivityPub network structure.(2/2)

@AnthonyJK Of course it would be both. We can't rule out that they've come to stack our meetings and distort our decision-making for the Reds. But we also can't rule out that they're genuinely disaffected, or that we could persuade them to be, by working with them where we agree.It would require a nuanced, relationship-building approach. Not instant trust. Strong, mutually agreed boundaries between their group and ours. In other words, a cooperation protocol. Like a political ActivityPub.

As a Mastodon user, you have the option to require approval to follow your account. If you do that, you can simply refuse to accept any follows from servers you consider dodgy. Meta-owned or otherwise. They're hardly the only risky server in the verse...(1) I refuse to let Meta privatise the generic term 'threads' with a trademark on its use in the social media industry.

Tao births both yin and Yang, which birth the Ten Thousand Things, but beneath that manifestation, its turtles (Tao) all the way down.

Because unlike most fediverse traffic, which is Public posts, all email is meant to be private to the sender and receivers. Allowing your email server to send email to Gmail creates exactly the same risks as sharing Followers-only and Direct posts with Chains. Sharing Public posts with Chains creates no new privacy risks at all.

The most common fix is you or your server admin block their account the first time a post crosses your lines. Or the entire server, if the problem behaviour isn't being dealt with at their end. Yes, that does mean dealing with the occasional dead fly in your soup. But it also means avoiding entire servers getting preemptively punished for the posting of rogue accounts.(1/?)

I'm won't be buying the koolaid that facebook will not collect any personal data because it can and it will.You may be able to fool some, but not all with you're, facebook can't collect any data schpiel. Let's see whose right.read the toots I posted from @avoidthehack. 'interacting and following' threads subject to data collection of 3rd party. oh, but I didnt login into #fbthreads.facebook has a malicious track record of collect #personal data regardless. I'm quoting from avoidthehack's posting. take it up with them if you believe to the contrary.
