Can I get a link to the EEE article that’s been floating around? Trying to explain this to a friend and I’m too dumb/they do a good job

Yes thank you!
MagnusRobotFighter@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Where can we find out which of the larger instances blocked or did not block Threads?
scytale@lemm.ee 11 months ago
You can use this: fedipact.veganism.social/?v=2
Adanisi@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
That’s inaccurate. The instance I’m on is listed as federated but it was defederated months ago.
wagoner@infosec.pub 11 months ago
Are those user counts accurate? Universeodon has 48k users but lists 6k here. If it’s active count only could they really only have 6k active users?

ELI5 federation on Lemmy
yuki2501@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It uses a slightly different configuration than Mastodon but otherwise it behaves exactly the same. You can read and reply to Lemmy posts from Mastodon.
In the same way, you can block requests from certain servers (this is called defederating) so their users can’t reply, follow or spam you.

So, I’m connected to a fancy computer called a server, and so are you, but we’re connected to different servers. The reason we can still talk is that despite being on different servers run by different people, those people have made it so that the servers can share what I say with you, and what you say with me.
Federation is simply a fancy term for an agreement to share something. In this case, it’s our text posts.
There are other kinds of federation, but that’s not important to Lemmy. Since you asked specifically about Lemmy, I’ll leave it at that.

You are on Lemmy.world. I am on Lemmy.ca. These are distinct websites but they use the same underlying service. Federating means that the two websites share their info - this let’s us talk despite being on different websites.

You’re on lemmy.world and I’m on programming.dev, but we can still see each others posts and interact with each other because lemmy.world and programming.dev are federated.
CrayonMaster@midwest.social 11 months ago
Well, you’re commenting on a Mastodon post…
topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 11 months ago
How many have blocked discourse ? Better to be safe than sorry.
FaceDeer@kbin.social 11 months ago
And Flipboard! Gotta make sure the Fediverse's garden walls are impenetrable!
topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yes Flipboard too. A reminder of why we must protect ourselves
stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi 11 months ago
Why block discourse?
topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They are a private entity, we can’t trust them.

Good.
Aux@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I hope you guys are strongly against net neutrality.
zondo@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The fediverse is not an ISP.
Aux@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Browser is also not an ISP.

nah dude, comparing social media to literal genocide is not the way to go.
fosforus@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
What’s a good way to figure out whether my instance is blocking them?
shrugal@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Go to sopuli.xyz/instances and select “Blocked instances”.
SeeJayEmm@lemmy.procrastinati.org 11 months ago
Is there a way to block these threads about threads?
chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
ELI5 what means “blocked threads” please
Halcyon@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
Threads is an US-American, text-focused social media platform from the Meta Group (Facebook).
Threads supports the ActivityPub protocol and thus can be integrated into the Fediverse, allowing data portability, follower portability, and interoperability with all social media platforms that also support it, including Mastodon.
owen@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
“Threads” is a new website from Facebook that works like Twitter
chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
I hope then that all instances of the Lemmyverse block Meta from putting its damn tentacles into our decentralized network.
kbal@fedia.io 11 months ago
The real question is how many instances will block the instances that don't block the instances that don't block Threads.
pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
YEEEE
maryjayjay@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Does Threads show up as an instance I can block?
I think every instance should be able to federate with whomever they wish, I just don’t want to participate.
corbin@infosec.pub 11 months ago
Yes, you can domain block threads.net just like any other mastodon/misskey/whatever server.
tal@lemmy.today 11 months ago
If you’re an instance admin, yes.
If you mean that you personally just don’t want to see content from that instance, then no, but shortly. kbin has had the ability for users to block seeing content from particular instances for a while; lemmy has not, but I understand that it’s in the next release.
