I might not be understanding something about the fediverse, but isn’t this like if you couldn’t send or receive email from a friend because you use gmail Google decided to block @icloud domains?
Like, you’re not forced to follow or interact with it, and are free to block it if you can think of a reason to, I just don’t see why such an open platform used to limit users in this way
For me it’s just “fuck Meta.” Fuck that company for coming here.
Lots of people love to defederate anything at the drop of a hat.
That’s it.
In reality, threads and lemmy aren’t even the same type of thing and are unlikely to intersect on a regular basis, in the same way you don’t see many posts from mastodon or pleroma.
One thing I find funny about the whole thing is meta is a bunch of corpos, so it isn’t that hard to just get them to defederate from you if you’re willing to grow a spine. My network is blocked, and I believe it’s because I called the maintainer of fediblock a nazi gestapo a bunch of times and demanded they add my site to their list of wrongthinkers or I’d call them doubleplus ungood, thus getting on a list that mindless drones use because it’s easier to just follow orders, regardless of where those orders come from.
lol
All the arguments were had here: https://sh.itjust.works/post/11011288
edit: and the subsequent vote where we decided to defederate: https://sh.itjust.works/post/11308397
Facebook bad.
Yes that’s my whole take.
Well, this was extremely disappointing. Only one person had a helpful reply, pointing to this link explaining the basics, a couple others vaguely gestured about their distaste of Meta, and everyone else demonstrated an even lesser understanding of the fediverse than I had started with. One particular flat-earther just called me a slag and posted a screenshot of themselves downvoting all my comments.
Or people checked your comment history and saw that your first ever comment was to vote against defederation, and you haven’t done anything besides drop pseud-posts whenever people expressed their desire not to federate with Threads. That does not look like good faith engagement to me.
“Everyone disagrees with me, that is insane because I am clearly smarter than them all. Why won’t all you idiot people agree with me?!”
All of your comments in one reductive nutshell.
You seem to have low self-awareness. Do you happen to be autistic?
When did anyone disagree with me? Using “autistic” as a pejorative is more revealing oof your character than mine. Good luck!
This discussion has happened several times over the last few months, people are probably over it.
