We have 2-3 months to compile a Threads block list (www.timothychambers.net)

It is expected to be 2-3 months before Threads is ready to federate (see link). There will, inevitably, be five different reactions from instances:

Federate regardless (mostly the toxic instances everyone else blocks)
Federate with extreme caution and good preparation (some instances with the resources and remit from their users)
Defederate (wait and see)
Defederate with the intention of staying defederated
Defederate with all Threads-federated instances too

It's all good. Instances should do what works best for them and people should make their home with the instances that have the moderation policies they want.

In the interests of instances which choose options 2 or 3, perhaps we could start to build a pre-emptive block list for known bad actors on Threads?

I'm not on it but I think a fair few people are? And there are various commentaries which name some of the obvious offenders.

5, except fully neutral-ground instances (private ones used as personal access points or government instances for example)

5 is an absolutely horrible idea.

1 and 2 are best

[–] jocanib@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (13 children)

I tend to agree but there may be some small and especially vulnerable communities which need the privacy. I don't know but I'm happy as long as everyone gets to have an instance which suits them.

Not that 1 and 2 are best though. 2 and 3 unless you want to be drowning in swastikas and child porn.

The whole point of this is that I want my instance to federate with threads. I want to be able to interact with my friends on there from the safety of the fediverse. I don't want to have Mastodon for Mastodon and Mastodon for Threads. I want Mastodon for the Fediverse.

I don't get this platform. I'm about to just give up on social media altogether.

I just want to know about new games and whatever else that interests me. Why's that so hard.

You really don't need to care about whatever's happening with Threads as a casual user

[–] artisanrox@kbin.social -1 points 2 years ago

You do need to care as a casual about data miners that would love to sell your info to health insurance companies and crackhead conspiracy theorists.

If 9 regular people sit down with a nazi without protest, you have 10 nazis. Threads will absolutely not stop nazis from posting nazi stuff. We know this because Facebook is full of nazis. Why would anyone want nazis at their table? Because they’re nazis. Anyone who wants to federate with Threads is a nazi. Do you want to federate with nazis? Option 5 is really the only way to keep the nazis away from the table. This is not an exaggeration. There are literal nazis given free reign on Facebook. There will be literal nazis given free reign on Threads. If you don’t stop the nazis because you want to interact with your friends who interact with nazis, you’re enabling nazis. Don’t enable nazis. I can’t stress enough they are literally nazis.

What does Threads have to do with Nazis? We are talking about the new Twitter competitor from Meta, right?

[–] AnonymousLlama@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Apparently this guy thinks Nazis are everywhere. Almost reminds me of Russian propaganda, Ukraine is full of Nazis we need to go over there and clean house etc.

It sounds like they just don't like people with differing opinions and anyone who doesn't toe the line must be a Nazi or Nazi sympathiser 🙄

[–] samothtiger@kbin.social -2 points 2 years ago

Meta enables nazis. I spelled it out right in my comment step by step. Did you read past the first line?

"literally" You might want to google that word.

[–] samothtiger@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Are you saying people who call themselves nazis and wear nazi memorabilia and fly swastikas and are antisemites and think the nazis were the good guys during WWII are not literally nazis? Because I’ve got news for you, buddy. They’re nazis. Literally.
