Go suck on Zucks nips. We're just blocking garbage
If the Threads-blocking instances have this level of maturity, I don't think we'll be missing much. Being equally childish as Facebook comments is impressive.
Buh bye! Go to threads then, I seriously dont care.
Facebook has shown time and time again they can not be trusted with anything.
From spreading miss information to starting a coup and every shitty thing between.
Already there actually and have had a pretty good experience, though it doesn't scratch that same Reddit-style itch nor is it trying to. It's chilling at somewhere around 100 million users, so I'm not the only one.
Honestly, with the user level blocking feature in personally against instance level blocking as well.
I strong believe in user choice. It's clear from this thread that there isn't an overwhelming majority in favor of instance blocking threads. There does not appear to be one that's not in favor.
1a) if the instance held a vote on the matter id naturally accept the majority choice.
if privacy is a concern (which it should be because Facebook), we're already screwed. Fediverse interactions (comments posts votes) are a matter of public record. So even if we block threads at the instance level, they can still zuck up our data so we're not really gaining anything there.
Edit: if you're going to down ote, be better than reddit and expand your thoughts. We're here to discuss, not act like children redditors
You're also forgetting that defederating means that Threads has no interaction with the fediverse meaning they can only do as much damage as a user can to those instances
Honest question, how would they be able to do damage via the federation protocol?
My understanding was that it sends data regarding posts comments and actions to all servers.
The closest I thought I had was some kind of instance ban but while that gets federated, it doesn't result in a ban elsewhere
Instance a bans user foobar
Instance b sees this information but foobar is not banned by instance b.
We saw some of that with the hexbear drama a couple of months back
