1. Meta/Facebook has a horrific track record on human rights: - https://www.amnesty.org.uk/press-releases/ethiopia-facebook-algorithms-contributed-human-rights-abuses-against-tigrayans - https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/dec/06/rohingya-sue-facebook-myanmar-genocide-us-uk-legal-action-social-media-violence - https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/18/17587080/mark-zuckerberg-holocaust-denial-kara-swisher-interview 2. Meta/Facebook is trying to join the Fediverse. We need to defederate them. 3. If you're a server admin, please defederate Meta's domain "threads.net" (here's how on Mastodon https://fedi.tips/how-to-defederate-fediblock-a-server-on-mastodon/) 4. If you don't run your own server, please ask your server admin to defederate "threads.net". Your admin is listed on your server website's About page.

Meta just announced that they are trying to integrate Threads with ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc.). We need to defederate them if we want to avoid them pushing their crap into fediverse.

If you’re a server admin, please defederate Meta’s domain “threads.net”

If you don’t run your own server, please ask your server admin to defederate “threads.net”.

    If there was a bot that just flooded All with far right talking points, do you think admins ought to block that or leave it to the users?

    What if it was far right mixed in with cat memes?

    What if it started more slowly like a few posts an hour and then ramped up over 6 months to be 1000s of posts per hour?

        Sure, but where is the line between spam and threads content? If the content a community produces is heavily manipulated, isn’t that undesirable for all the same reasons as spam ?

        Do you think any users would populate a place that’s over-run with trash?

        If there are, would they be the type of users who would populate communities you would feel comfortable in?

          • Facebook.
          • Instagram.
          • Twitter (pre-Apartheid Edgelord).
          • Twitter/X (post-Apartheid Edgelord).
          • … and a cast of hundreds.

          Seems that yes, they would.
