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 ?

It is exactly that. Nothing happened yet, and people were calling for defederation already. It is a panic reaction.

If we are not on Facebook or others its not for nothing. Theses reaction are not panic 🙄.

Politics, convictions, ideology are words too.

These reactions are for nothing. I personally don't want to be a part of a dead social network with just the extreme kinds of people. This is an opportunity for the fediverse to grow and diversify. All that people are doing is being scared of any change - which is a dumb approach to it. When there is a reason to defederate - then defederate. Don't do it "because it's meta".

Yeah yeah, why are you here and not on reddit, if I read u. Lmao.

End of the discuss for me with you. You can DV now, you reddit user ;-)

And next time, answer instead of going around BC you are "wrong"

Yeah, you are just discussing in bad faith or are a weak troll, I don't care either way.

So you are very ignorant about who's behind Threads, how they operate and what they do, roger

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

And you are very panicked, going off of the "slippery slope" fallacy and basically doomsaying, got it.

I told you already - block them yourself. Nothing changes for you, and people who want an actual userbase to interact with aren't blocked by it.

Calling very justified wariness about Threads "doomsaying" is naive, at best.

If I let you keep going you're about to tell me that Facebook and Instagram aren't that bad, so let's stop here.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I said it before, two times actually. Block them and move on with your life. Other people want to interact with threads.

[–] NOSin@lemmy.world -2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Or move to a wiser instance that already defederated with them.

Now I'll block you, because not only you're a broken disc that doesn't take input into account, you're also short sighted.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yes, you can block me, that's exactly the point.

Bravo, move to an instance that defederated from them, you will be in the exact spot as you would be if you personally blocked threads.
