The only places Threads can federate with are instances that are so poorly managed that they don't even block Threads.
I wouldn't call lemmy.world poorly managed.
Which is probably a lot more than would be expected.
So long as my instance continues to block instances that don't block threads, I'm happy.
I don't need a public-facing microblogging service, I like having my own little dark corner on the internet. https://pluralistic.net/2024/03/23/evacuate-the-platforms/#let-the-platforms-burn
Good for you, but that won’t help majority of the people who don’t know or can’t run their own instance. Also the moment you make a post out to one of those instances that hasn’t defeated, Threads will just hoover your post right up. You’ll isolate yourself, sure, but not your posts or interactions. Welcome to ActivityPub.
I do suppose it’s better to only be implicitly training language models and making public posts which anyone is free to screenshot or repurpose compared to explicitly propagating all posts to Meta.
Why would I want to see posts from people on social networks who care so little about social networking that they've joined a corporate app?
It's not ideal, for sure, but at least I won't have to see any posts from threads.
Except my entire point hasn’t been about you, but you made it all about you. My original statement that there is no single source that can prevent threads from joining and interacting with the fediverse and that’s going to affect most people. I’m glad you have the know how to run things yourself but my statement was never about just “you”.
And?
I'm not most people, I'm me.
I'm not about to let other people's ignorance about the social media landscape keep me from enjoying my niche.
So then why do you keep replying? That’s where I’m lost. You derailed it to be about you and then you kept on it.
You were the deraileur when you decided that my comment about my own personal tastes was insufficiently generalizable. XD
Mildly interesting: A derailleur is not the same as a derailer.
You’re just gonna keep responding until you have the last comment, aren’t you?
Or are paid not to block.
