If so, is there any plan to remedy that?
I think we don’t block anyone, including Threads. If you want, you can block them for yourself in your settings.
Exactly this. One major reason I’m on here is that SDF lets me choose for myself what I wanna see and what I don’t.
That’s the whole reason I made an account here. I access to everything and I’ll choose what to block as I use it
I think that blocks me from seeing their content, but not them from recreating my neural network using the stuff I post here.
EDIT: Joe Biden just downvoted me?
I don’t think they need us to be federated with them to use your information. Like they could probably just scrape it if they decide they’re interested in it.
Why make it easier? Rolling over doesn’t seem like a solution.
Yeah, I get that approach. IMO for 99% of people joining an instance that blocks Threads is probably a good idea. However, I’m not one of them, and I think most people on this specific instance aren’t either, hence why we’re here instead of somewhere else. I think that for my “threat model”, the benefits of having access to the full Threadiverse outweigh the possible downsides.
Man, but… Have you looked at all the downsides Meta has helped implement in the last decade+?
Yes. Meta is a shit company, and I’m not a fan of corporations in general so they’re doubly shit. Frankly, I hate them and everything they’re about. My point still stands. Particularly, for my threat model, I want to be able to monitor the situation and interact with people who feel “forced” to be on Threads.
Ahh, you’re sneaky. Okay. So you’re suggesting we actually pollute the fediverse so much, that Threads users have to migrate, once there’s such an unwrangleable liability that Meta pulls out. I’m in.
EDIT: Joe Biden just downvoted me?
If Biden thinks your fear of having your “neural network recreated by using stuff you post” is fucking ridiculous, then maybe yes
I bet you’re fun at parties.
Check here:
Omg there’s a federation chain from hexbear to threads
IIRC, SDF’s mastodon instance blocks threads, so I don’t think they’d be philosophically opposed. Maybe reach out to the admins?
Just Block the Instance yourself via your account or find a new instance that does block them
ITT we spit on Meta’s dick before we bend over and hand them our social spaces, again and again. Preheat the oven, uncle Mark’s coming to the sleepover.
Phrasing man phrasing, what the fuck
