Comment on Fedi Garden to Instance Admins: "Block Threads to Remain Listed"
petrescatraian@libranet.de 7 months ago@FfaerieOxide I think we all have our needs and wants, out of which all need to be addressed in one way or another.
The very fact we're having this discussion is a healthy sign that it's okay to have different opinions on such topics - no matter how wrong it sounds.
There is no one-size-fits-all, despite some people like FediTips/FediFollows/FediWhatever is thinking about people.
And bad people and entities exist all the time. They existed before Facebook, they existed with Facebook (and Meta), and they will exist after Meta as well. Just check any blocklist of any okay server and you will spot them.
If you know them IRL, you can tell them IRL to get off of facebook.
This didn't work, sadly. And it doesn't work because such platforms make you think that they are the default. That nothing exists beside them or that if it does, it's either dangerous or empty. Don't you even see that the first question someone joining Mastodon is "who is also there?". This is a good opportunity to show them that someone is there...

How much are those relationships worth then?
You make Meta seem more like the default by allowing contact with you through it. Be something they can't access while associating with evil.

@FfaerieOxide that's not how the perception of the masses works, though.

How can allowing access to everything on something people start out viewing as the defualt make it seem like less of the default?
Only by things existing outside of threads can people realize it it not.

@FfaerieOxide So you realize something is not on Threads by the fact that it is not on Threads? On this logic, I also heard about a bearded man bringing presents on 25th of December each year.
