To the admins- will lemmy.world block Facebook's Threads or are you open to federating with them in the future? (lemmy.world)

Many of us do not trust Facebook and anything it is associated with or swallows up.

EDIT:

"Instagram head Adam Mosseri said "

““Soon, you’ll be able to follow and interact with people on other fediverse platforms, such as Mastodon. They can also find people on Threads using full usernames, such as @[email protected].””

“We’re committed to building support for ActivityPub, the protocol behind Mastodon, into this app. We weren’t able to finish it for launch given a number of complications that come along with a decentralized network, but it’s coming,” he said.

“If you’re wondering why this matters, here’s a reason: you may one day end up leaving Threads, or, hopefully not, end up de-platformed. If that ever happens, you should be able to take your audience with you to another server. Being open can enable that.”

That's not at all what I'm here for but okay.

It sounds like you are, because if you want a place where you alone are in charge of what content gets blocked, what you really mean is a place where nothing gets blocked by the admins, so that it's all up to you. If you want to be in charge of everything you see, all of that content must be allowed to reach the instance, i.e. it must be unmoderated and federated with everything.

I don't get how you arrive at that conclusion. All I want is for me myself to not see certainty content I don't care for. Here's an example: there's an nsfw instance that is federated with my instance. I don't mind that at all. Great content for many people I am sure. But it seems to mostly be communities for straight men (or does into female bodies). I'm a gay man. I really don't care for tits of any size. So I keep blocking these communities when their posts show up. Would be much easier if I could just block/hide the whole instance from my own feed.

OK, I follow you now, sorry for misunderstanding. When you said "I won’t be able to find one single instance the federated with just the right others for my taste so let me just filter myself," I took that to mean you wanted to start from scratch, rather than starting from a baseline moderation level you agree with plus your own filtering on top of that. That, I can certainly agree with (especially as a kbin user, where I have that capacity). I imagine it will come to Lemmy as well at some future date.

Yeah all I meant was there won't be a single instance that tailors exactly to my taste in content, which is fine.

No! The fediverse must conform to my will and my will alone!
