So this is apparently NOT enough for mastodon.social to defederate Threads.
What a complete and utter betrayal.
@aral Give them a little time. The momentum is there and I suspect they'll be convinced before long.
@dalias They need to be convinced? Why do they need to be convinced? What kind of person needs to be convinced when faced with this?
@aral Gargron seems to believe very little of the hate speech will spill over here (says they've only had 68 reports of posts from Threads so far) and that they can deal with moderating it.
He's overlooking (possibly intentionally) the double standard where explicitly pro-hate-speech instances are normally defederated on the basis of intent not action, and that now that Threads is an explicitly pro-hate-speech instance, it's somehow not being treated the same way.
He's also overlooking how folks replying to hate speech to argue against it will result in it getting federated and put in front of people.
@aral In any case, I'm hopeful that there's sufficient momentum and consensus now that he will cave to pressure and defederate them. But it will likely take a while still...
