So... Does anyone recommend a pixelfed instance that won't federate with threads?

Edit: I have an option and more, 🙏. But I'll leave this up as I know others want to have options as well.

:BoostOK:

@onepict Oops I ranted about this last night when I could've been checking this out haha. I'm after a Todon-type Pixelfed instance that is entirely bought in to the principles of the FediPact. If you have any intel, do feel free let me know, spoons permitting! (This sounds very much like a secret meeting of rebels: "Hey comrade, there's something going down...step inside" haha)

@MediaActivist Apparently pixelated.de is on the , so the question is how many pixelfed instances either signed the pact or will block threads because threads already have broken the moderation policies for many instances.

We need to remember that Instagram already was a vehicle for hate.

"Far Right organisations love finding new ways to recruit people to them. In 2021 Hope not Hate found Instagram was a prime recruiting ground for Neo Nazi organisations."

@onepict Exactly. Even the fantastic FediPact site is not, apparently, an exhaustive list. And it can be exhausting (d'ya like what I did there?) to try and verify which instances are adherent to the principles of the pact - not to mention which will certainly keep their word.

My home instance observed threads accounts for the first 24 hours in July. We have no reason to believe threads will moderate hate.

"There are openly, aggressively transphobic accounts on Threads.net with no visible attempt at moderation. We would defederate from any other Fediverse instance with that behaviour and no moderation, and there is no reason to treat threads.net any different."

@onepict @hypebot Btw, what's @pixelfedde stance on that?

pixelfedde,

@fink @onepict @hypebot threads must burn! erm, I mean, we wish threads all the best, but as they are incompatible with our rule no. 6, threads will not be able to federate with us

@onepict I wanna know too!

hamishtpb,

@SallyStrange @onepict I was thinking of setting up a pixelfed server to add to my stable but the last time I tried it installing was a pain. I may look into it again now it seems more needed.

@onepict@chaos.social avatar

@hamishtpb @SallyStrange if nothing else more instances to federate would be good to further on decentralisation and spread out.

Like the excellent initiative @Framasoft started. It's a good principle if folks can help.

hamishtpb,

@onepict @SallyStrange @Framasoft I am attempting it now but it might take a wee while before it is ready.

@hamishtpb There's no rush, it's better to be prepared and do it right. I have an option, but I am sure others on fedi will need options as well.

Thank you.

Can't be as worse as PeerTube.

hamishtpb,

@RyunoKi @onepict @SallyStrange I managed to get PeerTube working eventually 😄

@hamishtpb @onepict @SallyStrange 😮

Then Pixelfed should be easy?

I'm sure dansup is open to feedback if you can share with him what you struggled with.

hamishtpb,

@RyunoKi @onepict @SallyStrange I tend to be a bit of a "paint by numbers" installer then work stuff out once it is working to make sure I have security settings etc correct before I go live.

For various reasons my servers are running on Debian while I am far more used to Arch (and the Arch Wiki) so I have a little extra hurdle to get over too.

RyunoKi,
@RyunoKi@layer8.space avatar

@hamishtpb @onepict @SallyStrange That's completely fair!

The other day I noticed that my VPS is ahead of my laptop (Trixie vs Bookworm).

Although I tend to live on the cutting edge.

I plan to distro upgrade over new year currently (because backups and everything)

hamishtpb,

@RyunoKi @onepict @SallyStrange Sorry team but I feel like there is too much knowledge external to the install instructions needed and I have given up again. Very sorry that I am not able to help out at this time.

@hamishtpb @RyunoKi @SallyStrange It's honestly no problem. Thank you for looking into it.

@onepict you’re welcome to join ours, if you’d like, but it’s not very active 😅

@onepict@chaos.social avatar

@alizasystem thanks, I'm not very active on pixelfed at the moment, so that works. 🤣

onepict,
@onepict@chaos.social avatar

@alizasystem @onepict so you can see if I'm suitable 😄

@onepict if you wanna sign up here’s the link :blobcatheart: https://kave.kibbutz.gay. Unfortunately I don’t think Pixelfed account migration works yet :’(

@alizasystem @onepict thank you so much , it's very kind of you.

I'll take a export anyway. Most of it was old highlights from past services, like hipstamatic, streamzoo, Instagram.

Will sign up once I have the spoons.
