Some instances know their embrace, extend, extinguish history and some don’t.

The color codes and symbols aren't at all propagandist.

I mean technically, but it's not like it's trying to be subtle about it. From the page:

I believe that Facebook represents one of the gravest threats to democracies around the world [...]

The point is to discourage instances from federating with threads.

Oh lol they changed the interface. Just a day ago or so the colours were the opposite.

I thought the same, then I saw the quote at the top of the page and realized it wasn’t strictly for information tracking

Nice, props to whoever made that site.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago

https://veganism.social/@nm should have added in the desc.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Huh. You'd think more instances were blocking, given the amount of buzz.

Being generallky in favor of letting individual users make this call that's... mildly encouraging. Of course I happen to be in an instance that is blocking, so...

It's worth noting that this still splits Mastodon pretty much in half. That's arguably a bigger concern than anything else Meta may be doing. They may not even have to actually federate to break Mastodon, which is a very interesting dynamic.

There seems to a mistake saying that Threads is not blocked by lemmy.zip, when we defederated them months ago.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago (4 children)

This is not an exhaustive list. For example, Instagram Threads profiles are available from kbin.social, which is not listed here, though.

It's somehow fun to see instance rules adding a clause about We do not federate with organization involved in Genocides

And a pitty that Meta is that Bad !

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Is Lemmy.world not going to defederate from Threads? Did I miss something?

Thanks so much for the link!

Time to migrate my account then ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's Mastodon.world or is that the same as lemmy.world?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago

Same admin.

Am I the one who finds X federated in the status of this website as that instance is not federated ?

It also confuses me that it says like that instance is federated.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago

Yes. I get the idea, because federating with them is the "negative" option, but honestly it's just confusing and overly opinionated for an infographic.

"i am an instance admin/mod on the fediverse. by signing this pact, i hereby agree to block any instances owned by meta should they pop up on the fediverse. project92 is a real and serious threat to the health and longevity of fedi and must be fought back against at every possible opportunity"

Not nearly enough.

This is why I love DBZER0

I hope LW limits federation

Good. On one hand it's good to see fediverse stuff coming mainstream, on the other hand the last thing we want is a load of celebrities and brands trying to cannibalise said fediverse as an opportunity to corner the market instead of genuinely useful resources for communication
