Damn! If only someone could've predicted that Meta would eventually do something stupid like this! If only we had defederated from them from the start /s

That’s my secret, Captain, I’m always defederated from corporate social media.
Corporate fediverse isnt true fediverse
Yeah, when my Lemmy server goes down I don’t want it to be because of a large scale cyber attack, I want it to be because some dude’s dog got the zoomies in the basement and tripped on a cable.
we fucking said this would happen and this dumb asshole refused to defederate on the flagship instance anyway
Call me psychic. And he really is an asshole
Meta moderation was a dumpster fire before this, I can only imagine how bad it's going to get.
Currently they have blatant misinformation everywhere posted as real news, people read the stuff and believe it fully. It should be illegal - people are just too stupid to know Facebook is just a modern tabloid magazine.
Years ago I reported the same account for bullying the same person, every time FB came back saying “no issues found”. The site is fucked, and blatantly has been so for years. But it was recently pointed out to me it has been since the start. He’s not a nice guy.

How do I find out if my Mastodon server is federated with Threads?
https://fedipact.veganism.social/ has a search feature.
This is old, it still has the (now defunct) feddit.de instead of feddit.org
RIF feddit.de 😔
Nice. Pretty happy that most of the fediverse, and most lemmy instances, are blocking threads.
At least on mine, there's an "About" link on the bottom left side on the web interface, click that and scroll to the bottom where you'll get a list of blocked servers, then just uncollapse that and ctrl+f for "threads.net".
Even if your Mastodon instance is federated with Threads, you can still block the whole domain from your account. Explanation / walkthrough here: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/113797840274825233
Also if you search "@threads.net" in your mastodon client and you find users from that server, then your server should be connected
