Been enjoying Lemmy, so I wanted to see how Threads is. “It’s just going to seem like another instance, right?”
It’s Facebook with another skin. The posts are pretty much all the same sort of posts memes take the piss out of. Literally feels just like Facebook… Going to stick to Lemmy, myself.deleted
nah dude, comparing social media to literal genocide is not the way to go.
what was comment
deleted by creator
I interpreted this in the context of multi-threaded programs. Very confused why everyone was so happy.
What is the share of users that those 41% have?
Good.
Is there a way to block these threads about threads?
Embrace, extend, extinguish.
Still too few
If you don’t like it, just move to an instance that defederates
deleted by creator
Just what I did.
I left Facebook to get away from the brain rot. Please don’t bring their demographic to spread here.
Allowing threads to federate is like allowing a virus to enter the system.
Where can we find out which of the larger instances blocked or did not block Threads?
You can use this: https://fedipact.veganism.social/?v=2
That’s inaccurate. The instance I’m on is listed as federated but it was defederated months ago.
Just a guess, but it might be because they blocked “Threads.net” with an uppercase T, so it could just be a bug.
Hmm. Lemmy should probably canonicalize that.

Are those user counts accurate? Universeodon has 48k users but lists 6k here. If it’s active count only could they really only have 6k active users?
re active users: they’re a large open registration instance, they likely have a fair chunk of twitter people who joined during one of the many migrations and decided not to stick around.
It’s George Takei and the creators running a bunch of sock puppets that yell at you if you point out how dead it is
What’s a good way to figure out whether my instance is blocking them?
Handy site to check your instances thread-blocking status.
What a fucking hateful choice of colours. Green for blocking and red for allowing communication. Really shows what kind of perspective the creator has.
Yeah, the color scheme is the real clue there. It’s pretty subtle what their viewpoint is.
Apparently this is a divisive topic, moreso than expected. Edited for clarity.
Huh? Green means it has been blocked and needs no further action. Red means it needs attention [if you’re on the side of defederating that is].
Everywhere else, red means stop and green means go. Here, the creator has chosen to reverse that to emphasize that they consider blocking to be good and allowing people to connect to be bad.
No attention is needed for the instances that are marked with red. They are federating.

The point is that it’s portraying not blocking as an inherently negative thing, which isn’t universally agreed upon at all. Plenty of people would say that they don’t need any attention at all. It’s not presenting objective in a neutral way, but rather labeling a group as bad.
Of course, it’s probably fair to assume that the author has no intention of being neutral, but it’s still valid grounds to criticize it as a data visualization.

Thanks for the clarification, your second to last line says it all. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that many online lack critical thinking skills and/or don’t consider the source when browsing. Better to accommodate the lowest common denominator when possible…but to expect that from a biased, private site is asking a lot IMHO.
I don’t think I’d expect political neutrality from the admin of a website literally called “veganism” anyway.
You shouldn’t expect it from ANY site really.
what does fedipact mean
How many have blocked discourse ? Better to be safe than sorry.
And Flipboard! Gotta make sure the Fediverse’s garden walls are impenetrable!
Yes Flipboard too. A reminder of why we must protect ourselves
Why block discourse?
They are a private entity, we can’t trust them.
deleted by creator
They’re open source. Apples and GMO oranges.
And the day they decide to impose their changes to us, what are we gonna do ? They have much more users than us. Do you need a reminder ?
Pretty much all Lemmy instances are a private entity… I don’t know any that are run by a collective or in a democratic way.
How many of them are a company ?
That’s not what we were talking about.
And companies(at least corporations) are people. /S
When will we defederate from these 58.99% ?
EDIT: And why is lemmy.world federated to threads? I thought we are more strict about this.
I’d recommend you create your instance and defederate from the 58.99%. Wouldn’t miss you the slightest!
Yeah, a part of me wouldn’t even hugely mind if these people do wind up leaving, because I’ve been increasingly getting a sense that I wouldn’t hugely miss such great literature as “Suck on my balls Zuckerfuck”

“Suck on my balls Zuckerfuck”
That’s straight poetry bruh.
Q1: do you want an echo chamber? because that’s how you get an echo chamber
Q2: idk
federate with gab
You can switch instances.
I’m on lemmy.world and am glad it is federated with threads.
Kind of stupid how people like you are trying to push what you want onto literally everyone else.
Yea it’s really stupid that they should have a vote. I think we should attack people for voting their preferences. /s
Reddit-brained.
You mod of r/killthosewhodisagree?
I rest my case. Goodbye.
Yea. Cool. Isn’t it great you have the choice to either continue to chat or not? Man, sweet sweet ability to voice your preference.
