I've never felt like I fit in on any other instance as much as blorbo.social, so I will be sad, but this is necessary for me. When the instance chooses to defederate in the future, I will return to this account.

Authorized fetch has been enabled and users have the option to block Threads as individuals, but I am morally and philosophically opposed to voluntary federation with any of Mark Zuckerberg's predatory companies.

The recent excitement surrounding Thread's arrival on the Fediverse is concerning. To understand why this is not a good idea, consider their economic interest in harvesting data, their poor moderation, and their manipulations. Nothing good can come from their federation. Don't roll out the red carpet for them.
