Meta bad, mkay?
Meta/facebook is bad.
If that shit gets on here I am permanently moving to ~tildes.
Many admins have already committed to blocking Threads. So if you don’t want to interact with Meta/Facebook at all, just use an instance that has it blocked.
I 100% will.
How do I check this for lemmy.world?
I’ve only created an account on there and one on kbin.social.
you can check the “instances” page in the footer of any lemmy instance, shows you exactly who the given instance defederated from. i haven’t seen threads show up at the linked instances yet so most instances likely haven’t defederated yet, but it’s only a matter of time
Yeah, threads isn’t connected to the fediverse at all yet. So I won’t show up in any instances yet
you can still defederate from it ahead of time. i just did – we had the debate with the admin team today and had an almost unanimous decision to cut them off. so
threads.netis now on our blocklist, meaning no matter when that instance goes live, it’s not connecting to us.given that identities use the same domain you federate to, they’re very unlikely to federate with a different domain. if and when they do, that one goes on the blocklist as well.

yeah, the whole point of defederation is to not even get to that point. if meta gets far enough ahead that threads users are a majority of your community, you already lost – they’ll just cut you off at some point and everyone not on threads will be forced to get on threads or be left out. that’s how they killed xmpp all those years ago.
i hope that enough instances will make that choice that the fediverse survives. we need to learn from the last federation’s mistakes to avoid repeating it.
On desktop only then?
Can’t seem to find the footer on jerboa.
i guess so, yeah. i’m fairly sure the instance list is available through the lemmy api and therefore jerboa should have access to it, but it might not have been a priority.
you can definitely use a mobile browser to look at the instance list though
M’kay.
The real battle between Elon and Zuck is honestly who would make the better janitor?
I’m going Zuck; dude is literally a roomba
True, Musk is more the ambient deodorant type. Stinks tho
The zuck suck with 5x the vacuuming power. Order yours today
Like Puerto Rico & the USA
Maybe the way we deal with these tech companies is to build our own fediverse (duh) then keep giving them an ever growing list of federation requirements until they all bankrupt each other trying to take over our club.
If people are going to switch, they should really know better and switch to mastodon
Personally I’ve tried staying away from Meta services, ain’t no way a Mastodon/Twitter clone is going to steal more of my data
Fediverse data is open to basically anyone. This means while you’re not gaining privacy you are de-commodifying all of it as well as your product use experiance.
What device do you have? Some cheap Android phones may have “advertisements” which can reinstall some apps after deletion, but you should be able to disable that
That’s normal for Samsung. They have had built in undeletable apps for years now. You can disable them but can’t delete them unless you root the phone.
It was one of the big reasons I switched away from Samsung to Pixel, and then eventually over to Apple entirely.
Oh yeah that’s weird, maybe contact support or something
