Damn! If only someone could’ve predicted that Meta would eventually do something stupid like this! If only we had defederated from them from the start /s
But nobody could have seen that coming! /s
That’s my secret, Captain, I’m always defederated from corporate social media.
How can a decentralized platform have a CEO?
His name is John Mastodon.
His full name is John Mastodon Pterodactyl Triceratops Sabre-tooh Tiger Tyrannosaurus but he just goes by John Mastodon for short.
Nice. I wonder if he also plays drums for Mastodon.
you joke but, a little-known fact is that gargron named the mastodon software after that band as it is his favorite

Thank goodness Boint Boint is here to explain.

Who wants to be CEO of lemmy btw? You’ll have no power over anything, but we can call you that from now on as a joke.
Corporate fediverse isnt true fediverse
Yeah, when my Lemmy server goes down I don’t want it to be because of a large scale cyber attack, I want it to be because some dude’s dog got the zoomies in the basement and tripped on a cable.

Call me psychic. And he really is an asshole
Meta moderation was a dumpster fire before this, I can only imagine how bad it’s going to get.
Currently they have blatant misinformation everywhere posted as real news, people read the stuff and believe it fully. It should be illegal - people are just too stupid to know Facebook is just a modern tabloid magazine.

How do I find out if my Mastodon server is federated with Threads?
https://fedipact.veganism.social/ has a search feature.
This is old, it still has the (now defunct) feddit.de instead of feddit.org
RIF feddit.de 😔
Nice. Pretty happy that most of the fediverse, and most lemmy instances, are blocking threads.
At least on mine, there’s an “About” link on the bottom left side on the web interface, click that and scroll to the bottom where you’ll get a list of blocked servers, then just uncollapse that and ctrl+f for “threads.net”.
The fact that mastodon actually has a CEO is alarming.
Oh, no It’s not like Mastodon instances have fact checkers or even sufficient moderation staff
Many instances are fairly well-moderated I would argue
Back in my day we were perfectly capable of checking our own facts. A rare skill these days.
I have an idea. Make it so every time you create a social media account, you have to check “agree” to a giant banner that says “if you take anything you see on here seriously, you are an idiot.”. That’s how we used to automatically treat things on the Internet at first glance.
Let big corpo tell you whats true and whats not goyim
Who is the gentile here, and in what way is that relevant?
And all the goyim say I’m pretty fly for a rabbi!

Alright uncle Cletus, it’s time for your nap. Don’t forget your antipsychotic cyanide pills 🥰
