Comment on Fedi Garden to Instance Admins: "Block Threads to Remain Listed"

I would argue that federating with either of the biggest companies

What other company are you referring to?

because both Threads and Meta are simply too large to be moderated correctly

They’re not. Meta is simply not motivated to implement proper moderation.

That being said, I acknowledge and agree that moderation is poor, which is, once again, why you should federate. To let people know they don’t need Meta.

You are full of more shit than my colon. Stop arguing to federate with the Cyber Devil.

  Hi @FfaerieOxide. Beehaw has one rule: Be(e) Nice. This kind of personal attack isn’t really in the spirit of Beehaw, and I’d like to ask you to please reconsider how you interact with users on this instance. You can disagree with someone without being insulting or demeaning.

    I apologize. I will be(e) nicer and kinder the next time someone spreads falsehoods about why giving genocide enablers a chance is good, actually.
    
    I would hate to be responsible for negativity.
    Mass death, after all, is no excuse for uncouth words.

You’re gonna have to break this down for me, because I’m not seeing the logic.

So I’m a Threads user. I now start seeing Beehaw posts in my feed. Let’s say that I’m seeing them alongside Threads-originating posts containing “exploitation and harassment”. How does my seeing those Beehaw posts in Threads automatically translate to thinking, “I should leave Threads and join- not Beehaw, which is federated, but another, non-federated instance”?

Or are you advocating for individuals in non-Threads Fediverse instances to do some kind of manual outreach campaign?

  That’s not how it works. What you see is conversations on other ad-free spy-free platforms that give you actual control over what appears in your feed, while simultaneously giving you access to all the people and orgs you know and love on Meta.
  
  I doubt Threads is supporting communities so you probably won’t stumble across Lemmy convos, much like you don’t stumble across them on Mastodon.

    You won’t know any of those are ad-free or spy-free (which is not true anyways, fediverse instances are absolutely being scraped), or know you could control those if you left Threads. All you’ll know is, "I like this thing I’m seeing in Threads, so to see more of it, I should use Threads more.

    Because Google is so expensive?

    Scraping public data is entirely different from collecting your contact history, location history, web browsing traffic, decrypting WhatsApp traffic, etc. etc. and on and on.
