After close consideration we have come to the decision to block Threads.net instance wide on all related instances
(mstdn.social, masto.ai, mastodon.coffee, pixey.org, gram.social)
The new Meta policy goes against much we stand for and we will not allow to let it spill over to the Fediverse
I just checked the numbers and it seems Threads is the biggest 'loser' here
On all instances combined we lose just under 100 followers spread across all instances
Threads will lose over 13K total
I understand it's rough to lose accounts you follow from Threads but unfortunately it is not worth the risk
Hopefully people on Threads will realize the true origin of the company running their platform and will make the decision to join us here in the Fediverse
I really really tried making this work but I cannot go any further
Mark Zuckerberg is a person I cannot and will not with with in any way. Sorry not sorry
@stux indeed, although I expect anyone on threads unhappy with the choices will instead move to bluesky.
The majority remaining just won't care.
My spouse and her groups are all moving to Bsky. Couldn't get them to understand Mastodon or the fediverse and everyone they know jumped to bluesky because it seemed more familiar and most people they already knew were on it. There doesn't seem to be an equivalent to the "marketplace" there though, one of the main things they use it for.
