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

One of the cool things about the fediverse is that you are free to run your own instance with whatever rules you do or don't want, and tell the rest of us to fuck right off.

Some instances will defederate from you depending on what those rules are, like those specific relatives we all avoid if we can at holidays, and ignore the rest of the year. They are also free to do so.

IOW, folks might tell your instance (or Meta's) to fuck right off.

That's what freedom looks like. It's not supposed to be just your freedom, it's supposed to be everyone's freedom.

Edit: And by the way, I'm very surprised if a company scrubbing mentions of competitors from its platform isn't a solid anti-trust violation.

exactly! each instance can do its own thing. so its very strange to see people shitting on meta for doing exactly that.

federate/defederate i dont care, but this hate-boner everyone gets from the idea of meta on the 'verse is childish.

You mean scrubbing mentions of a competitor from their platform? That's not OK, and it's an indicator of their future behavior that is very consistent with their past behavior.

You are entitled to your opinion. (And so are the folks you think are being childish.)
