Wait is this a thing, have they said this already? (I fully assume they will but missed it if they already have)
I think it's referring to Threads.
Yeah, but has threads made an official statement like this yet on defederation rules? I'm an instance owner so I'm pretty sure I'd just reply back "lol"
I saw that mentioned on Mastodon, but honestly don't care enough about Threads to actually look at their TOS. Seems likely though given they're all about making it as bland and corporate friendly as possible.
Does it have to be said? If you allow certain things they're definitely blocking you
no of course not, it's obvious, I was just surprised they already said the quiet part out loud, right now they seem to be all "buddy buddy" like we're all stupid
Well there are apparently users here who want to see Threads content. I don't know why you would want that, and here of all places...
I mean, I wish celebrities were jumping on other options rather than "ooo shiny new facebook", they're the only ones I would personally follow, but other than that if you want to follow me choose a platform that federates
They can sign up a free account on Threads, no need to bring that here.
Why is it shocking?
Exactly. Every instance will defederate from another if they are not acting in the way that they want. I don't see why Threads would be any different.
I guess the difference may be that the policies are much more restrictive rather than something like "is a frequent source of spam and hate speech" but there is always going to be a policy.
