I've gotten so tired of the non-stop reddit/lemmy/mastodon/threads drama I pulled the plug on all recurring donations for the foreseeable future. Thanks to threads the fedverse is starting the reddit style drama cycles and I'm pretty much over trying to sort through it.

I know I can block content, my concern is my refusal to donate to an outfit that supports meta or similar properties.

Thats fair and completely understand. I feel it should be the users choice to block the content they don't want to see as opposed to a complete cut off for all users but from previous comments I've gotten, that is not possible yet. Maybe within the apps it would be possible atm but if the only way to not see the content is to defederate, then that makes sense to me.

I do still feel that for the bigger mastodon.social and lemmy, they should not defederate since most new users will go there and if they dont want to see the flood of Thread posts, then they can move to a group that defederated.
