Yeah but in this particular case it really needs to happen at the instance level rather then the user level, and preferably all instances at that. It’s about mitigating the damage that Meta/Facebook are going to do (to the entire fediverse as a system) more than it is about not seeing shitty low-effort racism or whatever they’ll have there.
If I could actually trust Meta to be benign then I’d maybe agree with you about just blocking their shit as a user, but there’s just no chance of believing that about them.
Also you can’t program an open-source project in a way that prevents a group of people from using it. It’s public and anyone can download and deploy it. So “kbin” can’t do anything about them, existing servers defederating them is the only way to go
It doesn’t work, and besides, the privacy policy of threads lets them collect information about you if you interact with ANY of their content at least once. I recommend everyone to read the third-party app section of their policies.
Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s speech people want to see, and that doesn’t prevent you from being asked to leave a private venue, be it a home, a business or even a digital social media platform. It only means you can’t be legally prosecuted by the government for expressing your hateful views
Threads is already banned in Europe and won’t withstand the scrutiny of Federation. Too many bigots. I’m certain Zuck doesn’t care either way. The thing is set up as an advertising medium for the GOP. Same old Cambridge Analytica scheme repeating.

Clusterfuck is happening!
In my country all the influencers are announcing the same things using the same template. I wonder if it’s a subsidized or monetized shill.
Please report this thread for not talking about potatoes
What is a potato?

If kbin allows them to federate here, then I’m out of here.
It’s up to each instance. So even if kbin.social did, which I really doubt, we could just go to another kbin run by someone with a brain.
Kbin allows you to block an entire instance.

That may be so but hate groups is where I draw my line for support in general.

I expect Roundcat was referring to kbin.social, their current instance, as “kbin”. Even though there are 70+ kbin instances.
FYI https://kglitch.social has already defederated from the domains that threads is expected to use.

ROFLMAO some people say it’s sad.
What’s sad is that people even noticed it.

I’m curious. How many instances that would insta-block libsoftiktok will keep federating with threads even though they’re on it?
Momsforliberty. It does not matter where they go. Pure toxic.
Klanned Karenhood
Hoes for Hitler.
Wait, do say also have Twitter’s blue V there? For god sake
so goddamn exhausting
To delete your account, you will have to delete your Instagram account as well.
Good. People should delete all of their Meta accounts.
Aside from political views, another social network will not help anything and is only another useless app to install.

banned or not yet released?
Banned until further notice. Zuck would have to gut the main function of Threads before it will be allowed over there. https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/05/threads-no-eu-launch/
The Zuck had been a bigger threat to democracy than Russia until Russia’s failed Ukraine invasion. As long as he’s making more money, it’s all okay.
Zuck is going to make it real friendly so it’s gonna be nice and safe for advertisers
