to any followers on mastodon.social, I'm defederating the instance. If the overt right-ward lurch from Meta, it's removal of protections for at risk & marginalized people etc. isn't enough for it to defederate from Threads, I don't trust its stewardship of its instance.

to any I lose, hopefully I'll see you around. I'll refederate if & when they change course.
@mrbitterness I'm always surprised by how many people - and good people too - are on mastodon.social.
@lydiaconwell they just don't know any better and/or just want one place they can talk to their friends. I get it. It's easy to let things be easy. You have to be a bit of a contrarian to really embrace the Fediverse I think.
