  • In western cultural hemisphere, yes. Antimeta and anti big-corporation backed social media has gained big momentum.
    Meanwhile on global south, they didn’t even know what privacy is. And fediverse user on my country is less than 1000 from tens of millions people. In global-south at least, I saw potential to introduce fediverse to greater masses using thread.


  • I didn’t say we should harass admins, I’m saying it’s up to us as a community to either move to an instance that defederates or if you know what you’re doing, stay on an instance that does federate and don’t add content to Threads.

    I don’t imply that it is you, but the harrassment did happened.

    It bothers me that after leaving for-profit social media, a lot of people here are totally fine going straight back to them. Have we really learned nothing?

    I think it is different, when we use their services on their platform, they are our lords. They can do anything to our content and identity there with little to no retaliation potential. When we interact with them using fediverse, we can hold our ground and control what data we cede to them to interact with their users.


  • Yup, same opinion here. If I can add, most intensivist are native denizen of fediverse, they use fedi long ago before elon even think to buy twitter. They takes root here to escape persecution and harrasment when using mainstream socmed. Whereas extensivist is mostly twitter refugees or those who only knows fediverse after elon bought twitter and using twitter to escape bad owners and worsening community. They then attracted to fediverse autonomy and potentials, and want to use fediverse to replace mainstream social media. They want to use fediverse to ensure there are no el*n-buy-twitter-then-kill-the-platform again.
    Both are valid motives to use fediverse, but it is contradictary.
