They’re testing read-only access to Thread posts, as far as I can surmise. That’s a far cry from “users on Threads are fully AvtivityPub compliant”. What would really show Meta’s commitment to interoperability would be subscribing to AvtivityPub accounts elsewhere. But of course they want to be the source.

We don't want to be part of the Zuckusphere.

Don't join any of his sites then.

Simple.

"Mastodon testing Threads blocking"

[+] Jackthelad -12 points 6 months ago (4 children)

What better way to show how all-in you are on the idea of the "open web" by... err... blocking another website from interacting with you. 🤷

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

It's not like it's an unknown little upstart. Facebook/Meta have a track record of taking as much from users as possible, and selling it. Some hesitation in giving them more seems prudent.

This is more a question of tolerance. We know Facebook is NOT tolerant of competitors, of the open web, of free software, etc. They cannot survive as a megacorp without a level of assurance and control that they can't have if they're "just another fediserver". They WILL try to wrangle control. They WILL try to eat us all up. Why let the fox in the henhouse when you already know it's a fox?

Unironically this; open web standards giving users freedom to decide who they interact with, as opposed to a closed service where the only choice is to like it or leave.

One of the key features of the Fediverse is the ability to block those instances that are toxic or annoying, so..

It could be a benefit to have people be further aware of the Fediverse being a better way than Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit and any other modern Social Media.
