I really want to nip threads in the bud. Besides blocking threads.net itself, defederate from any instances that do not. This is blatantly an EEE strategy and a united front is the only way to save what have been accomplished. Here is how Indivudals can do it on mastodont as an example to follow. https://hachyderm.io/@crowgirl/110663465238573628 Edit found this , https://fedipact.online/ please sign.
Yes, I know… But there’s no need for Meta to extinguish Mastodon if we do it ourselves?
taking a stance is not a bad thing.
This doesn’t seem applicable - how is meta being intolerant (or the people federating with meta)? Banning instances because they didn’t ban a third party instance isn’t following the paradox of tolerance.
Sorry if I’m missing something, are you saying meta should be banned because they have bad moderation, tons of bigots, or something like that?

i am saying they should be banned because their ultimate goal is to Embrace, extend and exterminate and if you are going to tolerate it, you’ll lose
On the other end, there’s also the Executive Monkey aspect.
At some point, fighting every battle has a toll. See the decline in the population’s mental health as activism increases.
As an apathetic Gen-X’er, I just acknowledge that I’ll never make it so everything is exactly the way I want it to be. Some stuff just sucks. And so do I.

may be, but since consequences of losing the battle are usually bigger than little bit of stress, that is really not a reason to wave the white flag.

and so you are trying to convince others to join you in your apathy. got it.
You seem to be stretching the definition of the “paradox of tolerance” in new and amazing ways. How exactly does the “paradox of tolerance” relate to defederating from instances that haven’t explicitly blocked Threads?

it applies to federation of single units in same way as it applies to single unit. if we decide this is a direction we want to take, then everyone has to think about which side of the imaginary barricade they want to stand on.
