After Meta's rather disturbing actions today, would you like to move to a Fediverse server that defederates Meta and Threads?

Fedi.Garden is a directory of well-run servers that have all blocked Threads:

➡️ https://fedi.garden

All of them are compatible with the requirements listed at https://fedi.garden/about-this-site

[#]Fediverse #Threads #Meta #Zuckerberg

p.s. If you need help moving there's a step-by-step guide at https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server

p.p.s. You can check if your server federates with Threads by searching for @ zuck @ threads.net (without the spaces).

If it shows up and you're able to view the profile, then your server federates with Threads.

If nothing shows up, or it shows up but says account suspended, then your server probably blocks Threads.

If your server does federate with Threads, you might want to ask your admin if they could defederate Threads in light of today's events. If they refuse to defederate you can move.

@FediGarden Absolutely. Defederation is necessary.

@FediGarden how is this list populated

@cmdr_nova

It's manually curated by me, based on servers I've contacted or which have contacted me.

The server admins have all confirmed that they are compatible with the requirements listed at https://fedi.garden/about-this-site and wish to be listed on the site.

@FediGarden oh cool ^^ unfortunately my instance doesn't do daily backups (costs significantly more than my weekly backups), and I'm the only person running it, so I can't submit this instance right now, but will keep track in the future

@FediGarden@social.growyourown.services https://fedipact.veganism.social/ is also useful, it reports which instances are and aren't blocking threads

@FediGarden Haven't asked Walt yet, but as my server and operator is US based, I will just need to move.

Yesterday blocked Threads for myself after readibg Suck's statements.

@FediGarden No. I'd rather ask my current server to defederate #Threads.

@shalien

FWIW I set it up a long time before the current shenanigans... 😳

It's not hosted by WordPress though, it just uses the libre software and is hosted independently. Am waiting to see if a good stable fork appears and becomes available on managed hosting.

@FediGarden I think defederation should only be used as a last option. Meta may not be a company which I have much trust for, and I think the actions they are taking now are probably a step in the wrong direction, but that doesn't make all Threads users dishonest.

If we start to see defederation as the answer to all problems, we will just end up with a lot of isolated networks. I don't think that would make the fediverse and Mastodon look like a very compelling option to the "mainstream" services.

@escape

"should only be used as a last option"

Meta have already been cited in multiple genocides, how bad does it have to get before you would consider defederating them?

@FediGarden I don't think the right approach is censoring Threads. So far I have been using it and I don't find it a cesspool like Twitter is.

@botolo86

It's not about you, it's about hatred being spread about vulnerable groups. This kind of stuff may not be visible to you, but is being spread by Meta's platforms.

The LGBTQIA+ organisation GLAAD actually did a survey and found it's a sewer:

https://glaad.org/releases/new-glaad-report-unsafe-meta-fails-to-moderate-extreme-anti-trans-hate-across-facebook-instagram-and-threads/

They reported these to Meta, Meta refused to moderate them.

And this is BEFORE yesterday's announcement, it will just get much worse from now on.

@FediGarden For now the threads are too good to say goodbye to them, but I don’t know what will happen in the future...
