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

Zuck Fuckerberg.

The Pixelfed team stated (https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/112138024510274956) that users were not able to reproduce the issue, so this is most likely a fake news.

I thought @dansup already committed to blocking federation with Meta. Why does he care if they're shutting him out, too?

I'm actually quite glad about this. Currently Pixelfed is absolutely beautiful, without me having to do any blocking at all. I don't want spammy low-key commercial posts to start showing up on it, turning me cynical and sour trying to work out who is legit on it. The whole culture of mainstream social media is based on people commodifying themselves, whereas Pixelfed is about artistic expression for its own sake. That's my own take on it anyway. For me, Pixelfed is the best thing on the internet at the moment and I feel protective of it!

I followed the link to the mastodon post and saw this edit

"Edit: As mentioned below, it appears to be a bug, not intentional!"

Of course it was. 🙄
