And that they will federate with them ? (Can’t seem to find it anymore at least)

I wonder how many people we’re gonna lose over this, because I for one, spent time blocking what I wanted to, to curate my feed, and it took time. I already migrated once, I’m not gonna do it again because some people can’t realize how toxic it’s going to be when they federate with us.

I see a lot of people saying they’ll just switch instances but haven’t seen anyone say they’ll just jump ship, am I alone ? Or maybe I’m missing an option that would allow me to transfer all my settings from one instance to another ?

    I for one, spent time blocking what I wanted to, to curate my feed, and it took time.

    If that is your general approach, why are you suddenly so eager to hand over that responsibility to the instance owner? Why are you pushing for that instances should curate the feeds of all their users, rather than the users themselves?

      Fallacy much ?

      Because I don’t want to be federated with threads doesn’t mean I want to hand over the curating to the instance owner, there’s such a thing as nuances.

      I also formulated a wish for world to defederate, but my solution when they didn’t is to leave, you don’t see me brigading for them to absolutely do it, so please do not lend to me what I didn’t say.

        Then you can block threads yourself, as a user. It’s as easy as that. Blocking threads on the entire instance makes it so admins are curating content for users. You don’t get a choice when an instance defederates, you do when it federates. Defederation is a last resort, not a panic kneejerk reaction.

          Calling defederating Threads a “panic kneejerk reaction” is being very ignorant about who they are and what they do.

            It is exactly that. Nothing happened yet, and people were calling for defederation already. It is a panic reaction.

              If we are not on Facebook or others its not for nothing. Theses reaction are not panic 🙄.

                These reactions are for nothing. I personally don’t want to be a part of a dead social network with just the extreme kinds of people. This is an opportunity for the fediverse to grow and diversify. All that people are doing is being scared of any change - which is a dumb approach to it. When there is a reason to defederate - then defederate. Don’t do it “because it’s meta”.

                And you are very panicked, going off of the “slippery slope” fallacy and basically doomsaying, got it.

                I told you already - block them yourself. Nothing changes for you, and people who want an actual userbase to interact with aren’t blocked by it.

                  Calling very justified wariness about Threads “doomsaying” is naive, at best.

                  If I let you keep going you’re about to tell me that Facebook and Instagram aren’t that bad, so let’s stop here.

                    I said it before, two times actually. Block them and move on with your life. Other people want to interact with threads.

            What they do is not to federate with anything at all because that feature isn’t even implemented on their end.

          Learn how the tool works before.

          If you block an instance, u can still interract with the users (with the new features), and they can comment posts on others instances and yours, and you will see them.

          You will just don’t see the Thread specific content.

          You are the jerk here

                You can block entire instances and their comments won’t appear to you. You don’t need to block “a billion people”. Just the fact that you want to block them says a lot about you - preffering an empty echochamber to an actually working fediverse.

                    I already have instances blocked. I see no users from those instances. I see no posts from them. No comments from them. Stop trying to tell me the sky is not blue ffs.
