For anyone wondering if Threads and Facebook at large will be a fine neighbor in the space and compatible with other apps/services in the fediverse: they’re already automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112126250737482807

    I thought @dansup already committed to blocking federation with Meta. Why does he care if they’re shutting him out, too?

      People make more complex decisions when they have multiple roles:

      • As admin of pixelfed.social, dansup may have decided it is best for that community not to federate with Threads, at least at first
      • As the lead developer of the Pixelfed software, he probably doesn’t like anyone censoring discussion of his software
      • As an individual with an interest in social media, he has a Threads account and is participating in conversations there; he would probably like to be able to talk about the projects he’s working on
