nume_macaroonA better list of Mastodon servers that have pre-emptively defederated from Threads.net
KazuyaDarklightI’m still on the fence about that being a good thing. I’m kind of looking forward to being able to see Twitter style content from major companies but without ads via my Mastodon account.
jaredthat's the thing, I see all content from major companies as ads.
52fightersI wouldn't mind having the ability to send angry messages to them again, especially if me not following them also means I don't ever see their content in my feed.
GhostalmediaRight after I logged into Threads, with a new account, by first 2 pages were posts from Zuck, Wendy’s, Netflix, a Facebook fanboy, and another Wendy’s ad. I tried to screen shot it, but the shit app realized I was idle, and used that as an opportunity to refresh the content.
30 million people jumped into this stupid thing this AM.
It detects if you’re idle and refreshes the page?
That’s some horrible attention hacking bullshit.
I’m 100% going to find another instance if I see any content from that nightmare. I’m not on Twitter, or Facebook, for a reason.
Or it’s just a bug
PseuIf major companies want to be on the fediverse, they're welcome to make their own kbin/lemmy accounts.
Why do you think a large corporation would just share their content to people who aren't viewing their ads?
They're not just being generous. Corporations are not benevolent. So what are they expecting to get from it?

SkullHex2Unfortunately that’s not how it usually works with major companies, and I learned it thanks to some post on Lemmy.
Look for “EEE”, or “embrace extend extinguish”

Here’s a way to block the instance until you decide: hachyderm.io/@crowgirl/110663465238573628

Meta is coming. I recommend blocking their domain, threads.net. Use a text editor. Type "threads.net" (no quotes) and save the file as "blocked_domains.csv" (no quotes.) Go to your Mastodon settings > import > blocked domains and upload the file. Bingo! #Meta #Threads
