  Mastodon.social, the biggest instance ran by Mastodon devs didn’t and encourages wait and see approach.

    I’m on that server and that’s how I feel too.

    If it goes poorly, then it can be blocked, but to not try seems silly to me.

      And the frog could just jump out of the pot before he boils.

        Sure, every other time the water has kept getting hotter and hotter like this it ended up boiling but honestly I really trust the corporations here and I think we should just wait it out! They promised they were just going to slowly heat the water up but not bring it to a boil so I don’t see a reason not to trust them.

        Which they do, if you are trying to boil them.

  Is there a list of instance somewhere that we can pick from? I thought someone was putting together a list.

    fedipact.veganism.social lists all instances with their decision.

      I know threads is mastodon oriented, does anyone know if there is a lemmy list as well?

        If mastodon federates poorly with Lemmy, I can only imagine that threads will federate even worse with Lemmy.

        That’s considering that Threads (meta) starts federating with all the fediverse, which is a big assumption.

        My own opinion, based on nothing, is that they will federate with a few handpicked mastodon instances and block everything else. Mainly due to content moderation.

  some do.

  I have a small community masto instance and don’t. If my users want to block the instance, it’s literally 2 clicks and a confirmation away.

  Doing to server wide is massively patronizing towards the users

  source

  • pelespirit@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Nah, users can vote and then if they don’t get the vote they want, they can go to another instance.

    source

    • SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      yup. And that’s what we did. The majority of people either didn’t care either way or didn’t want to block it. With way more “don’t block” than “block”. So that’s that. At least for now

      source

      • pelespirit@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        How many users are on your instance? I’ve never heard of it.

      Users on Mastodon can simply block their domain if they want to.

      source

      • pelespirit@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        But can’t Mastodon post on Lemmy and Lemmy can’t block instances on an individual basis? That’s the way I understand it currently stands. I don’t want threads showing up in my feed and would like to block them.

    You might want to look up what patronize means, in the common phrase “don’t patronize me” it’s used sarcastically.

    Essentially, replace the word with “helpful” in your sentence, and you’ll see why it doesn’t fit.

    source

    • SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      yeah, I get what you mean. But it’s still mostly fitting in the way I feel about it. Basically: users can think for themselves. They don’t need me to take care of the bit scary world out there.

      Doing so for a whole instance feels super condecending. “I know better than you what you want. I’m going to block it”

      source

      • MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I get what you meant, which is why I replied, I’m saying that that word means the opposite of what you intended.

        To patronize someone is not a bad thing, the word means “to be someone’s customer/patron” and through doing so, supporting and helping them. That’s where patreons name comes from, for example.

        In the phrase “don’t patronize me” it’s used sarcastically to say “I know you’re trying to help, but please don’t” but the word doesn’t actually refer to someone who is going over your head to do things for you. It’s actual meaning is 100% positive, and hence confuses what you’re saying. Which is that blocking threads should be done by users because it should be their decision.

      They used it in a perfectly acceptable and understandable way. The definition you're describing as sarcastic is an official meaning of the word. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/patronize

    I see it as just virtue signaling. At the end, we can choose to not join those servers who defederate with them, but I can also think it’s a stupid decision at the same time lol.

  A lot of instances did, the flagship instances run by the Devs of Mastodon didn’t. They think that it’s good and want to encourage it, though at the same time their instances have a spam problem so bad many instances have decided to limit them, making it harder to follow people if your account is on them.

  Also noticed that many people say they won’t follow people who are on Mastodon.social or approve follow requests. Which is a bit extreme but I also get it, there’s lots of spambots and not great people on those instances and moderation is slow since they’re so big which doesn’t really help.
