MODERATORS
 

Meta just announced that they are trying to integrate Threads with ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc.). We need to defederate them if we want to avoid them pushing their crap into fediverse.

If you're a server admin, please defederate Meta's domain "threads.net"

If you don't run your own server, please ask your server admin to defederate "threads.net".

Then you're evil. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Go ahead, be evil. It is certainly your prerogative.

Edit: just look at how many votes "But what if some of us don't care if they're evil?" got. Like, what a wild-ass bullshit thing to say. This thread is definitely being astroturfed.

We should have rules against turfing like this in the community, and remove or ban people suspected of it. I get the benefits of having a neutral place but at the same time we don't allow advertising here so why should suspected astroturfing be any different.

It's sarcasm. I upvoted them because I would have said something similar to highlight the absurdity of any argument against defederating with Threads.

Read their replies. They are apparently being sincere. You have fallen victim to Poe's law.

Thanks, it is my prerogative.

This is the point of the freedom of federated communities: we can read whatever the fuck we want from wherever the fuck we want without having authoritarian censor-heavy limp-wrist adult-baby moderators and corporate fascists determining what we are allowed to read or affiliate with.

The freedom to read both sides and control what I want to interact with on my own will, and make my own decisions is why I'm fucking here. I don't want people like you making decisions for me, go fuck yourself.

Thanks for noticing I'm evil. I'll go make a nice blood sacrifice to my effigy of Satan by eating another baby.

Right, so nobody's stopping you from joining threads, or making your own instance. You can call it evil.villain. Why don't you?

[–] Dieinahole@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So when they steamroll this place so hard you only get their side of the story, what then?

[–] BaroqueInMind@kbin.social -4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I promise you nothing is going to get steamrolled, you are simply being very ignorant.

In fact, I will @ you with a reminder in 30 days as a reply to this message of how mundane and routine everything is to prove you are wrong.
