@BrodieOnLinux Completely agree with the points made here. Blocking the threads instance preemptively is just extremely stupid and nobody should do it.

@BrodieOnLinux If we want facebook to not EEE the fediverse, we need to treat threads just like any other instance. My instance is blocking instances without proper moderation and threads definitely is ine of those. Therefore it is blocked by my instance and I fully agree with that as giving fb special treatment would give them way too much power.

@BrodieOnLinux Although I agree that most instances need to federate, not all should.Many smaller instances don't want to deal with a sudden influx of new users to federate with. In these cases, they may not have the funding to pay for more resources.I've also heard of people saying they don't believe Threads is moderated enough and worried about actors. Some groups are targeted more often and a small number of malicious actors on threads could easily outnumber a smaller fully bad instance.

@taraen @BrodieOnLinux can't you for your personal account just block the whole threads without your instance blocking it?

@BrodieOnLinux I see 2 big upsides even for people who want to block Threads. One is that more people in the Fediverse increases developer interest so everyone gets more/better apps. The other is that I would expect a lot of the bigger accounts to run their own server outside of Threads once they don't have to be there to reach that audience.

@BrodieOnLinux I'm currently trying to form an opinion on this, on one hand I fully agree with everything you said in your video. On the other hand I just read, https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html which is the top comment and counter argument in your comment section. I use xmpp and my user is: immaculatetaste@404.city anyone talk with me if u want lol. That article mentions and uses xmpp as a prime example. They state "How Google killed XMPP" which I don't know if that's exactly true. There has been much discussion on xmpp about threads joining the fediverse and about google and xmpp. Tell me what you guys think.

@BrodieOnLinux I honestly think we should take advantage of the exposure we'll receive from Threads and make more accessible instances that advertise themselves to more mainstream users.Just outright blocking Meta or only hoping they "play nice" with us is probably going to end badly. Instead, we should be trying to expand our own foothold.#Meta #Threads #Fediverse #Mastodon

@BrodieOnLinux Great video. It made me curious enough to rent a server and host my own Mastodon server. This is great so far.

@BrodieOnLinux 100% agree! I'd be very much eager to delete my fb/insta accounts and follow/interact with all my friends there from the mastodon one. Even if all mastodon instances block Meta, I'll set up my own! 🤓 The ones who fear the integration can block it individually instead of being party poopers ffs 😑

@BrodieOnLinux I strongly disagree with the fact that Fedi should become mainstream.Remember that twitter users came to it, and the overall quality of it plumetted until most of them returned to twitter.Fedi should remain a niche, and should remain entirely community driven without any profit motivation. Any company-backed platform trying to get into it should be blocked on sight on principle alone.

@BrodieOnLinux Not an instance admin but moved to an instance that blocks threads.net. You don't mention my personal reason. I am not willing to contribute with my content to metas commercial app. Funny that threads makes federation opt-in but mastodon doesn't. At least pixelfeed offers opt-in now.
