Comment on Seems like world deleted the Threads discussion post
Maalus@lemmy.world 9 months agoThen you can block threads yourself, as a user. It’s as easy as that. Blocking threads on the entire instance makes it so admins are curating content for users. You don’t get a choice when an instance defederates, you do when it federates. Defederation is a last resort, not a panic kneejerk reaction.
Learn how the tool works before.
If you block an instance, u can still interract with the users l, and they can comment posts on others instances and yours, and you will see them.
You will just don’t see the Thread specific content.
You are the jerk here
Great job insulting me. I can perfectly fine block people from a specific instance and not see their posts or comments at all.
Yeah yeah block the billion from thread. Lmao.
Don’t say you are wrong, when you are.
🙄
You can block entire instances and their comments won’t appear to you. You don’t need to block “a billion people”. Just the fact that you want to block them says a lot about you - preffering an empty echochamber to an actually working fediverse.
Defederation is a last resort, not a panic kneejerk reaction.
🙄🙄
Yes that’s how the fediverse works :)

Calling defederating Threads a “panic kneejerk reaction” is being very ignorant about who they are and what they do.
Maalus@lemmy.world 9 months ago
It is exactly that. Nothing happened yet, and people were calling for defederation already. It is a panic reaction.
NOSin@lemmy.world 9 months ago
So you are very ignorant about who’s behind Threads, how they operate and what they do, roger
Maalus@lemmy.world 9 months ago
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.

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”.

What they do is not to federate with anything at all because that feature isn’t even implemented on their end.
