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
Does this mean that if we always mention
pixelfed
or@pixelfed
we can effectively block Meta from leveraging our contributions to the Fediverse?… Or you know, just go to an instance that defederates from Threads if you don’t want you content there?
Some of us are not savy and don’t know how to do that.
your instance is already defederated from threads
Thank you! I thought it was but then I have been seeing toots from instances that I’m not supposed to be able to see (or so I thought) so I wasn’t so sure I understood the whole thing anymore. Also, I don’t understand the difference between defederated and fedipact 😬
Fedipact is people who’ve signed some thing pledging to never federate with threads, whereas all the other ones have just defederated them without signing the pact. In reality there’s not really any difference at all.
