Great.

I joined the Fediverse to escape Facebook’s toxic interpretation of what communities are, so Facebook is coming to the Fediverse instead.

Just great…

Blocking everyone and every community from Facebook’s new parasite social media could be good, me thinks.

@Auster You can just use an instance that is defederated from them, that's the beauty of the Fediverse

According to https://lemm.ee/instances your instance already blocks them for example

It’s not just a matter of blocking Threads users.

Facebook is coming on here to slurp up data I don’t want them to have, and enriching their own Threads ecosystem with Fediverse content they haven’t lifted a finger to create.

Not to mention, when Threads users are able to fully interact in the Fediverse, do you really want that particular bunch to create noise in your communities? I don’t. There’s a reason I avoid Facebook users.

right but if I block their instance, they can never interact with me and vice versa.

Uh… this fediverse stuff is all on the public internet. Facebook could be slurping it up just as easily without joining at all.

It doesn’t matter. People will never understand the difference between the open web and walled gardens.

People say they want freedom, but in reality they want to become little tyrants. We’ve been asking for years to have a level-up playing field, and now that we do these reactionaries are going to find something else about it.

Definitely not as easily and 100% not legally. I actually don’t think they would scrape stuff off of the fediverse like that because that is just a lawsuit waiting. Besides, scraping is really not feasible when it comes to getting information like that.
