Server indexes of places for newcomers to join can be instrumental for Fediverse adoption. However, sudden rule changes can leave some admins feeling pressure to change policies in order to remain listed.
any other instance allowing all the racist, homophobic and transphobic shit that gets posted on Threads would be unanimously defederated by the biggest players on the Fediverse, and blasted all over the network under the fediblock hashtag, but Meta somehow gets the pass because… more number mean gooder?
all i see on mine (i just tried it this week) is cute videos, artist videos, life hack videos, and amazing videos. seriously. it’s a lot like discuit. i guess it’s all in what you follow.
I get this argument… but I keep seeing folks talk about Threads as if it’s somehow an existential threat to Mastodon rather than “big crappy instance with asshats on it,” and I don’t quite understand how it’s more than that… at least at a level that users and instance admins have any influence over. Can someone ELI5?
It’s because Facebook has been pushing their PR saying “We’re not an alt-right cesspit, we don’t tolerate alt-right trolling” people including right wingers believe them and repeat these lies, then they proceed to turn a blind eye towards right wing trolling and bigotry because they know that most of their audience are right wingers themselves (I mean that should be obvious since Facebook is known as the boomer platform because all the young people left elsewhere).
how can threads be transphobic when my following feed is filled with trans people? id say it’s more trans friendly than mastodon.
gee, I guess this report should be scrapped then https://glaad.org/smsi/report-meta-fails-to-moderate-extreme-anti-trans-hate-across-facebook-instagram-and-threads/
Well then I guess the pro-trans thing to do is tell Katy she shouldn’t be allowed to follow all those trans people.
That is the stupidest arguement I’ve seen in a while. " my grandad smoked 3 packs a day and never got cancer so cancer is just a hoax by big pharma!" Anecdotes aren’t accepted as evidence for good reason.
Fedi garden is just someone’s website, they can put whatever they want on it. No big deal.
Yeah, I’ve never even heard of them before now and would have no particular reason to trust that what they mean by “good” servers aligns with what I’d consider “good” servers. This isn’t like joinmastodon.org trying to strongarm instances to adopt their personal federation policy.
Even though I hate Meta, I can totally understand why admins are pissed at this change.
Yes, fuck meta
Are any major Lemmy or Mastodon instances in Fedi Garden?
I was looking through the site and didn’t see any instances I recognized but they also nest everything so it takes like 3 clicks to see 2 severs.
Edit: By type looks like the easier way to see the entire list, which is not huge and I don’t recognize any of the servers but I will admit I am not a big Mastodon person.
The person who runs it doesn’t recommend Lemmy because of the political opinions of its main developers.
Kinda funny now given that Eugene of Mastodon has signed an NDA with Facebook.
It’s funny how they can attack a software and all instances on it but turn a blind eye to the wrongdoings of the developers of the software they’re using. It shows a lot of very personal and emotional bias, and also quite a bit of hypocrisy because they are basically saying to all the instances that use Lemmy that one can’t use server software without agreeing with the developers, and yet they use Mastodon while fundamentally disagreeing with its developers.
Eugene of Mastodon has signed an NDA with Facebook.
Is this true? Where can I read more about it?
It’s hard to give a direct source because he’s deleted quite a bit but this thread has a screenshot.
