PSA: Since Threads apparently will be federating replies soon, I thought I should post this again, because there's still a lot of people that don't know.

When a normal user uses "block this domain" it's LITERALLY just a MUTE. The blocked server can still see, interact, and reply to your posts, you just won't be able to see them.

It's kinda like sitting in a room with hungry bears while wearing a blindfold. If you're scared of hungry bears, your best bet is to get out of the room, not put a blindfold on. And by this, I simply mean to migrate to an instance where the blocks are up to your standard on the "instance" level.

Stay informed and make informed decisions, no matter what you choose to do with your Fediverse presence.

So, I'm curious about exactly how much of Fedi is blocking threads.

Boost for reach please. So the poll gets good info.

PS. This isn't a debate post or anything. Just want info if you're willing to share. Thanks!

So....there's an instance that has defederated from like 21,000 instances including all the shitty ones and the biggest ones and me.

lol.lamp.wtf

I wonder who they actually federate with🤔🤣🤣

Edit: its a joke instance that's automated and not managed. See: 0 active users

Hmmm...wonder how long this has been a thing...if it's fairly new, I wonder if Threads is further along in their AP implementation than they're letting on...

To be clear, I'm talking about how Fedi handles show up as links on Threads. They don't actually link to anything yet, but they do show up as links.🤔

Edit: Not necessarily so. Here's a GREAT explanation on how this (probably) works by @m https://thias.hellqui.st/objects/bef3ad92-a688-4c69-80e5-a2e343877e10

Hey @MonaApp, is there a slight possibility we could get a "Hashtag Drawer" feature where you can save individual hashtags for easy re-use along with keeping the CamelCase, pretty please?😅

The hashtag suggestions are great with this for the most part, but if there could just be a box of hashtags you could save without having to start typing each one in first. That'd be awesome!

I HATE that Mastodon automatically adds previous mentions to replies. Like...why?!?

Also, if you see this happening, why don't you remove the mentions before hitting send? Do you really think 30 people need a notification for your reply?!?!🤯

BeAware, 2 months ago to threads

Corporate social media sites are so dumb...Threads has a link section in the bio, where I naturally link to my Fedi profile. But, of course Meta tries to add a tracking tag to the url, which I assume tries to link up with user agents and cookies from sites.

Fedi doesn't have that, so clicking the link on my Threads page fails....🤦‍♂️

Funny, cause their tactics didn't work and maddening at the same time.

Ya know...all the fear mongering on Fedi is starting to tire people out...

Lots of people just don't want to be here anymore because of the way a lot of Fedi users treat normal everyday things as EVILLLLLL!!!

You're doing the very thing you fear the most when you talk shit about Threads (and other things most of you deem evil) and pushing people to those platforms.

I am on both and literally seeing it. I have users that follow me on both platforms that say they're considering leaving Fedi because of how normal it is there.

No brigading. No blatant misinformation. No bullshit drama about Fediblock. Just normal, SOCIAL media.

So, those defederating from people that federate with Threads are literally and already killing the platform you claim to love so much...🤦‍♂️🤬

A lot of you need to look in the mirror.

To ALL my followers and mutuals:

This weekend is WrestleMania weekend.

I am very excited. However, I know most of you don't follow me for that.

Therefore, I'm giving you a heads up! I will be using the following hashtags a LOT over the course of the weekend and it WILL contain spoilers.

ANYWAY...enough of my negative rants.

Who's ready for WrestleMania?!!?!??!

I'm super excited tbh. I haven't been this excited for a WrestleMania since 30 and that was mainly because I was in attendance...🤣

Let's just say, WWE doesn't hit THIS good anymore. Gotta enjoy it while it's here. We know it probably won't last long, considering their history...😬

🤷‍♂️it's WrestleMania 40 Weekend!! Let's gooo!!!!

HIGHLY recommend Fediblock for user '@MKULTRADiamond' as they're tagging random users and spamming porn with no CW. Receipts attached in the screenshot.

Edit: The whole instance is Freeze Peach. Toss it in the trash.

So, @eatyourglory and I were discussing Lemmy and he had a good question/idea. Could Lemmy communities technically be subdomains? Like instead of Lemmy.world/c/example, it could be example.lemmy.world?

Would this be something that could be theoretically built into Lemmy or is there some kinda technological limitation, making this not a thing..? I think it's a neat idea.🤷‍♂️🤔

Every time I see the phrase "reply guy", I can't help but get absolutely pissed cause WE'RE ON SOCIAL FUCKING MEDIA YOU ABSOLUTE BUFFOONS!! HOW ELSE CAN YOU BE SOCIAL IF YOU CAN'T FUCKING REPLY?!?

Thanks for coming to my FED Talk about why naming things like this is dumb as fuck.

Sincerely,

I kinda hate the fact that a lot of devs of this wonderful platform keep trying to change our unique name. We're called Fediverse for a reason, we want to be a federated universe. It's also just "more fun" to say than "Open Social Web"😴

Can we NOT try to change things that aren't broken? That'd be GREAT!

Thanks for coming to my FED Talk.

Well, while I wait for my favorite Fallout 76 mods to update after the newest patch, I'm re-downloading ESO to see if I can successfully "get back into it".

I have this stimulation issue called ADHD which makes it hard to do the long, drawn out quests with lots of dialogue. The issue is, that's the best parts of ESO....😩I wish I could shut off the quest voices and just read the text. It'd be faster for me.

I did find an addon that claimed to do that, but it muted all dialogue across the game, which is not what I want.

PS. I hate the fact that modders add so much functionality to games with missing features like text chat. How do you have a PC-based multiplayer online game without text chat in 2024? If it was integrated into the game like it's supposed to be, I wouldn't need to wait for modders🤦‍♂️

It's SO strange to me how people are so adament that they don't want their data being sold/abused.

Yet, we have a literal data harvester in front of our own eyes with NewsMast out in the open using Fedi posts for their "news app" and nobody is blinking an eye...🤦‍♂️

It's so crazy to me to think that I was on Xhitter for like 4 years and had a total of about 120 followers, most of which were spammers messaging me about "stream graphics".

I've been on Fedi for less than a year and have 5x that amount of followers and probably only enough spammers to count on one hand. I love this place.

I REALLY wish boosts would show in Lists on Mastodon....

Some people boost too much or ONLY boost with very little original posts from them. I'd like to file them off in a list, but the lists don't show boosts...🤦‍♂️

I won't lie,
I wish I could get high,
So I don't just sit in my bed and cry,
Think of bad things and wonder why,
I can't think of cute cats in little bowties.
