There are so many people on Threads looking for new places to go and I hope there are enough people on Threads to advocate for new places to go or they will just go to the most known platforms.
Here is a thread of folks who thinks there is no social network run by "girls, the gays, and the theys" and I think those options exist but might just not be known.
I support defederating from Threads. We have rules for server mod policy, Threads is violating them. Letting them not follow rules because they are too big is a recipe for disaster.
I see what people mean about cutting off communication, but this is necessary when fighting fascism. Rules are good, actually.
#SocialCoop folks, please vote in our Loomio, make your voice heard.
⛔ Speaking of trust and security makes a perfect transition into why we decided to suspend and defederate from Threads.
This decision is in response to Meta’s recent announcements on the large-scale removal of content moderation rules and third-party fact-checking tools, which deeply affect the safety of LGBTQIA+ and other marginalized communities and contribute to spreading misinformation on a global scale.
Sind hier eigentlich viele mit #Threads Accounts verbunden? 🤔 Ich eigentlich mit keinem - zumindest nicht bewusst ...

Hi theATL.social friends! Hope everyone is staying warm and not overly icy today.
I'm attaching an obligatory snowy #beltline photo.
And as for a more serious topic...
With regards to Meta, Threads, and federating (or not, or some combination of limited federation), I'm in discussions now with our lead moderator, @DecaturNature, and our members, on next steps and any changes to instance policy.
As of now (fingers crossed), there aren't any immediate concerns that would require a server-side block or federation block. However, the changes in policy at Meta would lend themselves to concerns that would arise in the not-so-distant future.
Federation/defederation is one of the most intense topics for instances, and their administrators and members, and have led to the success or disbanding of instances. Accordingly, I am approaching these types of questions with both intention and an understanding that the questions are time-sensitive.
Threads Account turned off. Not gonna support Meta anymore.
Does @zuck talk about fedi at all on his recent #JRE appearance? Trying to listen now. #SocialWeb
I think he made these changes to appease Trump but I don't think I have a problem with what he did. I never understood coming out with #threads to seemingly compete with #xitter and limiting political conversations on there. He says he's doing all this for free speech and I don't believe him but if they ever truly fully federate I'll have to reconsider.
Please go deeper than bad speech = block.
I went from hoping that #Threads would be a good thing overall, to suspending it, to blocking it. Oh well. If the leadership of a company is so eager to please whatever government is in charge, we can do without.
Unlike most media outlets, I don’t have to publicly wring my hands over leaving #Threads. I wanted you mofos on the proper #Fediverse from day one.

Trump, Musk and Zuckerberg have declared war on facts and truth. The pushback must start now https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jan/11/trump-musk-zuckerberg-war-on-facts-truth-pushback-now?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
Noto con piacere che molti hanno capito la vera natura di #Meta, vorrei solo sottolineare che Meta è anche proprietaria di #Threads, anche se 'stranamente' sfugge a qualcuno.🙏
