Dear @Gargron,

A fediverse server called Threads is violating mastodon.social’s second server rule:

“2. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia…
Transphobic behavior such as intentional misgendering and deadnaming is strictly prohibited.”

https://glaad.org/smsi/report-meta-fails-to-moderate-extreme-anti-trans-hate-across-facebook-instagram-and-threads/

Can you please defederate from this server to protect the trans people on mastodon.social?

Thank you.

PS. It’s run by these guys: https://techcrunch.com/2024/03/26/facebook-secret-project-snooped-snapchat-user-traffic/

@monorailtimes Blocking Thread user is like playing Wack-a-mole and giving Facebook does nothing to stop it, it won't do as much effect unlike blocking the instance.

@matty @aral @Gargron yeah just block the domain, that's totally possible or join a mastodon instance that respects that, but forcing everyone to adhere to your specific moderation isn't what the fediverse was founded on

If any other server allowed bigotry it would be rightfully defederated. What makes threads different?


Meta allows bigohtry on their platforms, #threads included, thus is only logic that any server that saus to stand against those things should defederate from them.

otherwise is hypocrisy. Otherwise they shouldn't call their servers "free from bigotry" if they are going to ignore their own anti-bigotry rules in order to lick the boots of tech corpos.
