I understand it's rough to lose accounts you follow from Threads but unfortunately it is not worth the risk

Hopefully people on Threads will realize the true origin of the company running their platform and will make the decision to join us here in the Fediverse ❤️  

I really really tried making this work but I cannot go any further

Mark Zuckerberg is a person I cannot and will not with with in any way. Sorry not sorry

Some people may wonder why it's now and not before and I would like to try and explain as good as I can

We are a relative large instance in the Fediverse so that comes with a lot of responsibility in making decisions. One of our main goals is safety but we also want to be open and connective until a certain point

Threads promised to be different and we always kept it with a grain of salt but did let the people decide if they wanted to block or not

The new policy is just far over the fine line

@Venta @stux

the fediverse is a network of social networks

for example: you joined the "mastodon.social" instance

what's an instance?
it's a community of people who use the Mastodon software

but your instance/community is connected to other instances/communities that use the Mastodon software: so you can read and talk to them too.

but there is more: your instance is connected also to instances that use a software different from Mastodon (for example PeerTube, which is similar to Youtube)

@Venta @stux
so you are connected to those communities too.

this community of communities is the Fediverse.

the advantage: it can't be controlled by a single person/company.
if you don't like your instance, you can change it.
if you don't like Mastodon, you can use another software, but you will still remain in the Fediverse.

@Venta @stux

I don't know if I've been clear.

Maybe a FAQ section could be useful.
