  The good thing about the fediverse is that instances can choose with whom they want to federate.

  In my opinion, there should always be choice and people with terrible opinions should be allowed to express them – just like others should be allowed to laugh, ignore and block them. Whether we like it or not, the fediverse includes everything from left-wing to right-wing extremists. But we can choose an instance which excludes all those unwanted posts, just like we’ll be able to block surveillance corporate instances. The actual highly illegal and inexcusable instances will get taken down by authorities, just like any other webservice.

    bigotry isn't only difference of opinion

  Give them a taste and then defederate…

  I do. I love my following on Threads but I hate how fragmented social media has become post Twitter. It’ll be nice to follow everyone on one account - mainstream and otherwise.

    It should be possible someday

    I’d love to skip into the future when all the activitypub stuff is set up nicely. Can’t wait

  Ultimately I think I’ll end up running two accounts

  I respect if my Mastodon instance decides to defederate because of a legitimate threat from Facebook, given the company’s consistently awful history.

  There will also be some good people worth following who want to use FB’s Threads for whatever reason. If I need to, I can use some special frontend or web browser version to read the content.

  So whether we stay federated or not, at the end of the day it’ll be ok as far as being able to see things from the people I care about.

  I’ll still try to bring as many people over to the real Fediverse though.

  It’s Threads, not Facebook.

  And I won’t speak for anyone else, but yes, I want as many people on the fedi as possible.

  In an ideal world I never have to log into Facebook, Twitter, IG, Threads or any of that proprietary nonsense to figure out what’s going on.

    It won’t be just people, it will be bots mostly.

    • helenslunch@feddit.nl ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      And you think the Fedi doesn’t have bots?

      • TheDoctorDonna@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I’m sure there are some, there always are, but it will be overwhelmingly bots, and not the bots designed to garner engagement.
