People seriously need to recognize that the #fedipact is about safety. It is not about not wanting larger companies in the fediverse. There is no one complaining about Flipboard or Tumblr joining because they do not have the possibility of making the fediverse and mastodon unsafe. Threads actively boost discriminatory speech and misinformation while suppressing minorities.
If they did not do this there would not be an issue. All threads will do is cause the fediverse to become another twitter.
These are interesting statements and questions to make public as well as tagging a few people below... also in the thread. 🤔
Well admiring targeting a rich guy who apparently had their friends do gaslighting & steal from you ideas and run some psychological harassment tings against you that affected your health and finances is a very traumatic experience in an of itself.
Wealthy people have been know to collaborate against people by proxy, as you know, so keep an eye out for that.
I have noticed a trend of 5150 types and homeless who are used by proxy, since they already have a criminal record, to attack people, who they themselves were paid to do so. Usually that's from Meta.
You do have a LOT of Meta social media in your life so start looking there would be my suggestion. The app permissions on Threads alone, which you use, give them full access to your handset btw. Everything. Unlike mastodon clients or web browsers so keep that in mind.
@rachaelspooky coughs @stux rethinking joining #fedipact yet?
this is why many people who're so adamantly against federating with threads are so goddamn ANGRY
we're so fucking tired tired of having our safe spaces -- our refuges against queerphobia -- ripped away from us
queer people, outcasts, weirdos, etc. -- we built this fucking network. we laid the groundwork for its very existence and now you're trying to tell us we don't matter, that we should just give it all up in the face of some evil megacorp. well fuck that
we're not going down without a fight
you have NO IDEA how full of queer neurodivergent leftist furries this place was before y'all showed up. no goddamn clue. that was this place's shtick for the longest time
this is the sort of virulent transphobia that is allowed to exist on Threads. stuff like this actually literally gets people killed. why should we federate with a platform that willingly tolerates such hate speech?
My paper on #Threads and the Free Fediverse #fedipact got accepted! But with revisions. Now I have to take on the daunting task of making the changes the editors would like to see 😅
🤔Just realized I switched from mstdn.social to cyberpunk.lol on my 2 year MastoVersary. Probably would have stayed there longer if they had supported the #fedipact
@BeAware I tend to frequent servers that are part of the #FediPact so that probably wouldn't matter haha, but thanks so much - I really appreciate your kind words and support!
if we decide that freedom is impossible then we'll prove ourselves right
but if that is the truth well then i think that there's worse things in this world than being wrong
#fedipact knows about this and warned users on the #fediverse

i wonder what the next meta that causes me to post a picture of something written across my tits will be
first there was me doing that for #FediPact, then again writing #MutualAid across them for the #MastodonForHarris thingy... i wonder if there'll ever be a third to round this saga out into a trilogy
okay i'll explain it again for new followers since it's been a while
i am writing a memoir about my time on the fediverse. starting from the earliest days in summer 2017 going all the way up to the present. it chronicles my journey from doofy wannabe techbro into the awesome gender terrorist i am today, and how fedi heavily influenced that transformation. it also talks about fedipact and threads and all that ofc
currently 35k words deep and counting
