Another reason why Mark Zuckerberg's fedi server #Threads will be blocked by Veganism Social.

#FediPact #Vegan

Thanks for this. So important to have this #fedipact talked about with a sane POV.

@ #fediverse check this out.

In general there are two distinct reactions to #Meta:

1) no way, no how -- either because of their history, the strong presence of anti-trans and racist groups on #Threads, belief there's no way to mitigate threats, or whatever. #FediPact is an example of this.

2) acknowledging all those issues but weighing them against potential upsides and considering what criteria make sense. Yours is one of the best-thought-out examples of this I've seen so far.

MetaDomains

The list of meta/Facebook domains

^{Git, but without all the Shit.}

I think I found the domain name of #Threads, #Meta's new #Fedi-enabled service, also codenamed #Project92, #P92, and #Barcelona.

URL: threads.net
IPv4: 157.240.22.63
IPv6: 2a03:2880:f231:c5:face:b00c:0:43fe (note "face:b00c")

Looking up threads.net returns #Instagram's logo, the title "Barcelona" and "this page isn't available" (probably because it's not open yet).

I'd recommend every #MastoAdmin #FediAdmin in the #FediPact to #FediBlock them before they go live on the #Fediverse!

Regarding the position of scicomm.xyz on #Meta and in the Fediverse, #FediPact etc.

After discussion between myself and the other mods and considering the views expressed by the people on our instance we have decided that pre-emptive blocking of Meta is warranted.

There is more detail on the background and explanation of this decision in a post on our companion site, here:

Thanks to our people for their comments and suggestions to help us reach this decision.

#FediPact

We, the moderation and administration of tech.lgbt, are signing the Anti-Meta Fedi Pact in fellowship with our peer communities. (vantaa.black/pact)

There is over a decade of precedent that Facebook will not have users' best interests as their guiding principle but rather profit margins, if it joins the Fediverse.

We at tech.lgbt have long held the belief that corporation owned instances are a threat to the core of the Fediverse: freedom for users to be themselves and to be a part of their communities. The 2010s saw the loss of online freedom when the majority of the Web was consolidated into a few destinations, and Facebook entering here could lead us back to centralization. Furthermore, NDAs for server admins will constrain our sovereignty online by binding us legally from disrupting their business.

We are not products. We are people, and we do not welcome Facebook in this space.
