Meta announced that users on Threads will be able to see fediverse replies on other posts besides their own. In addition, posts that originated through the Threads API, like those created via third-party apps and scheduling services, will now be syndicated to the fediverse.
Great.
I joined the Fediverse to escape Facebook’s toxic interpretation of communities, so Facebook is coming to the Fediverse instead.
Just great…Blocking everyone and every community you see from Facebook’s new parasite social media could be good, me thinks.
@[email protected] You can just use an instance that is defederated from them, that’s the beauty of the Fediverse
According to https://lemm.ee/instances your instance already blocks them for example
can’t you selectively block entire instances? you can in Boost
It’s not just a matter of blocking Threads users.
Facebook is coming on here to slurp up data I don’t want them to have, and enriching their own Threads ecosystem with Fediverse content they haven’t lifted a finger to create.
Not to mention, when Threads users are able to fully interact in the Fediverse, do you really want that particular bunch to create noise in your communities? I don’t. There’s a reason why I avoid Facebook in all its forms.
Uh… this fediverse stuff is all on the public internet. Facebook could be slurping it up just as easily without joining at all.
How can we know?
I don’t think i’ve ever seen a Threads message in any of my Lemmy / Mastodon feeds. Perhaps I’m not mixing in the right circles?
Fediverse is not super far from original internet idea with the exception of convenient block feature. Let’s hope that’s enough to prevent the sequel.
