And that they will federate with them ? (Can't seem to find it anymore at least)

I wonder how many people we're gonna lose over this, because I for one, spent time blocking what I wanted to, to curate my feed, and it took time. I already migrated once, I'm not gonna do it again because some people can't realize how toxic it's going to be when they federate with us.

I see a lot of people saying they'll just switch instances but haven't seen anyone say they'll just jump ship, am I alone ? Or maybe I'm missing an option that would allow me to transfer all my settings from one instance to another ?

Thanks for the infos

I will see how it actually turns out, and yeah I didn't expect an instant "everything turn to crap" moment, but good to know that there's an option to easily migrate if need be. Although just the idea of them having any kind of access via federation really bothers me and I somewhat doubt they won't try something to "absorb" as much people as they can into Threads, that something having many possibilities in how it could manifest.

I’m with you.

If you haven’t seen it, here’s a great write up about federating with threads that does a really good job of outlining why there’s more to this than “but I have friends and relatives on instagram” and “isn’t it good for the fediverse to be popular?” arguments: https://erinkissane.com/untangling-threads

My little tldr + hot take on the article here: https://hachyderm.io/@maegul/111627736340220610

It’s by @kissane@mas.to on mastodon if you’re on there. I find myself enjoying and agreeing with just about everything they say about the fediverse and social media.

Thanks for the shares, very interesting, it's much worse than I thought it turns out ahah

I'm not on masto, lemmy is enough to browse for me on a daily basis but I might check out a few things there

Now, even though it might not change much to the future of the fediverse with meta meddling, I'm definitely migrating !

Yikes

Meta’s lead for Threads, Adam Mosseri, was head of Facebook’s News Feed and Interfaces departments during that long, warning-heavy lead-up to the genocide of the Rohingya in Myanmar. After the worst of the violence was over, Mosseri noted on a podcast that he’d lost some sleep over it.

Yep. I didn’t know that part.

And somewhat symbolically, his account is the first you can follow from mastodon. You can file him and get his posts in your feed right now. I’m on an instance that hasn’t blocked threads and I’m following him now. Creepy TBH.
