It's time to address the elephant in the room, or actually Threads As many of you may know Threads went live in Europe and with that they started testing federation with the FediverseAt this point there is a choice to make1. Block Threads on instance level, that will take away the choice for each person2. Do not block and let people block if they want to(1 search and 2 clicks)After much consideration and talks I think we need to go with option 2 and let people decide for themselves

You can simply block the whole "Threads.net" domain by going to the following profile:https://mstdn.social/@mosseri@threads.net

@stux Is there a downside to having folk from threads following one? Does that place collect data on other Mastodon instances?

@stux People've been leaving threads because it's a cesspit leaving mostly the worst people behind. It's also fundamentally unmoderated (leading to the exodus), something I'd see as being reason enough to cut off.The company habitually lies to advertisers about audiences and to their users about how the data is used so that's also a problem. Maybe FB will get in anyway and steal everything for their blessed AI but you don't have to hold the door open and with GDPR (data security) you shouldn't

@stux When a user decides to block threads.net or any other domain/instance, does that only mute that blocked instance in the timeline, or would that also prevent that instance to see anything from that user via federation (so the blocked instance doesn't even know the user exists)?

@stux Sounds fair and open and I trust your judgement but the question is whether this solution sufficiently helps protect against subversion of the fediverse by an aggressive player. They'll join first, then tinker with the protocols on their side to break standards - like so many big tech companies have done with other standards.

@stux I am disappointed with this decision. Defederation from Threads is why I chose this instance. I will be blocking the instance and not happy that I have interact with that account to block it. I'll be blocking everyone else who is on Threads as well. If you care to know why, read the Mastodon Migration post about Meta's policy to collect and sell the data of third party users that Threads accounts interact with. Fuck that!

@stux Thanks. There are a few people on Instagram (I presume moving to Threads, I'm not on it so don't know) whom I'd love to follow - so I can delete my Instagram account. I'm open to exploring how this works, and glad to have the ability to do so here on my home insta with you. :) I know if things don't work out as expected, we can count on you to be transparent with us about it.

@stux @lucybeahere That wasn't the question. The question is whether anyone on a Threads account can be blocked from seeing or collecting data from Mastodon users' posts. If the answer is no, then federating is a shitty thing to do to people

@stux Hi Stux. Is it true that if you block an instance, you don't actually block it but rather mute it — so that the ppl on the blocked instance can still see and interact with your posts even though you've clicked "block"?

@stux problem is that threads is mining data from prople *interacting* with threads users, without any consent mechanism other then a statement in the threads EULA which fedi accounts probably didnt sign.this would be illigal if it wasnt an american multinational doing it.

@stux I think you need to speak to a lawyer before proceeding with option 2 due to Article 137 of Dutch law. Threads contains content that violates that article and facilitation of such content is itself an offense under the article, so you need to see if federation with such a platform would be a crime before proceeding

@stux @chriscoreline Any data you give threads is too much. There while purpose is to mine the data to exploit the users. If you really want to federate with them or follow an account on threads just move there and keep us out of it, by us I mean the fediverse, people who care about moderation and privacy and made a choice to be here.

@stux I came to the Fediverse explicitly to escape Meta and its invasive, data-scraping, warrantless sharing ways. They are teh epitome of the parasitic monstrosity social media has turned into, and I htough moving to the FediVerse was a recalmation of the early internet's energy. Was I wrong?

The original reason you had publicly for defederating from Threads was:"A Meta company that needs drastical privacy improvements first to be allowed"I am EXTREMLY doubtful that they made any improvements to privacy safetyWere improvements made, or are you caving to the people who either don't understand or refuse to acknowledge the dangers of corporate media encroaching upon the fediverse where most people came to get away from them in the first place???

@stux @amgine @CStamp it’s also really legally unenforceable. Facebook if they tried to collect text messages from people from another instance that has Creative Commons license, Facebook entire plan for profit would end up in court.

@stux I disagree. shitware integrated with constructive technologies diminishes their value and extends the reach, influence, and uptake of shitware. parasitism.this position is predicated on the following notions:1. there are good things (as measured by their effect in human rights and human life quality) and bad things (measured the same way).2. the facebook company platforms genocides, terrorism, and misinformation and is a bad thing: a vendor of shitware whose remit should be curtailed.

@stux As I would defederate any instance that hosts Libs of TikTok and other variety of other nasty scum, and does not exhibit any attempts at reasonable moderation that would even remotely resemble my instance’s rules, I suspended them, of course. Small instances (~200 active users) with a solo moderator do not have the luxury of finding out what happens if we federate with unmoderated servers.

Rather than thinking of this as META (the mammoth corporation) invading the FEDIVERSE (the global non-profit), couldn’t we scale things down. A group of folks over there is interested in chatting with a group of folks over here. If the party gets out of hand, we can always call it off.From @stuxhttps://mstdn.social/users/stux/statuses/111586878344044075

@stux Thank you. 🙂 If I have this right, I can't block Threads now because there's no one on our server who follows someone on Threads? Does Threads currently have an instance in the Fediverse? (When I search, no Threads account shows up at the moment, so there's nothing to block.)

@stux Hi. If I get a vote, I vote for #1. It looks like you have suspended them because of their invasiveness and lack of technical boundaries. I'm grateful for that. However, I don't have the option to block an instance. I'm on a browser, duckduckgo. Tried it on Firefox too. Tried it with those awful servers you blocked (thank you for that) Had a conversation about this earlier. You might find this interesting starting from this reply to the next couplehttps://mstdn.social/@LALegault@newsie.social/111588168620886049

@stux Blocking threads on an instance level defeats the very purpose of federated in the first place. So it's better let users block, if they want. Give them the choice to do so.

@stux I loathe FB and Insta. Never had an account with them. Want nothing to do with them. So…1. I’ve blocked the threads dot net domain.2. I’ve set my account to approve followers. 3. I’ve locked my account. Now, if only there was a way to make my account completely invisible from them. Nevertheless, I won’t see their garbage.

@stux A problem with such a contentious issue is that opt-out is not consent, moreso as blocking is hard (in the past I tried twice in the web UI and gave up).So calling this choice is buying in to what on Facebook we call a dark pattern, the kind of trick that was prohibited under the GDPR which says a choice must be equally easy either way, and that defaults should err in favour of the user not the business.I'd like #Mastodon to allow federation choices to meet the bar of consent #Threads

@stuxWhy would you want to block all the people on an entire instance from being able to see the content you are posting publicly? I am not understanding what's all the drama about? Aren't we posting publicly because we want people to see our content? Sure, #Facebook sucks and they shouldn't exist. But their users also just rolled into #threads and 99% of them don't even know about #Mastodon, why would they not be worthy of seeing your content? If anything it could motivate them to join us..

@stevenroose @stux I think that it should be the free decision of the user. Maybe you can understand why, maybe not... but the relevant thing is that the user should be able to do this kind of decision, especially because they are technically doable, just not implemented in the protocol. That is not only about Meta, it should be the same if the user doesn't want to be searchable/visible for people of a concrete instance.Just I say that the user should have the same degree of sovereignty about who can see his/her profile as the administrator of her/his instance does have.

@stux Sorry, but I I disagree with your choice. If peole want to interact with people on Threads, they can always make a Threads account.Meta as a whole is plainly evil and shouldn't deserve a place into any user-driven community. The mere presence of these gigacorps into the #Fediverse is going to cause negative consequences in the mid term.I guess most users on #Fedi are here exactly to actively avoid dealing with the Elons and the Zucks and their minions.

@stux i hear that an individual block of htreads will not suffice, as your posts also liv eon other servers, whereever peopleinteract with oyu, and will eventually be forwarded to threads accounts.
