mastodon.ar.al is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
This is my personal fediverse server.

He’s making a list,
He’s checking it twice,
He’s going to decide,
Who’s naughty or nice…
Zuckerberg is coming to town.

@aral
That's a whole new level of Christmas nightmare right there.

@aral

I think the profiles he'll be building are going to have more categories than "naughty" or "nice".

Shadow profiles for everyone, even those that block Threads directly and just get boosted into their honey trap. Yay.

@aral If there is any profit hiding in the fediverse, the Zucker will find it.

@telmi @aral why? He didn't find profit on the rest of the internet. Social media operate in the red, why they're so ad-reliant and why they are how they are since they're beholden to make a return for their investors. The fediverse is structured to inherently not be reliant on singular, central servers with lots of overhead costs. Zuckerberg is not a genius business person with an acumen for sniffing out profit.

@aral I hope at least it would be possible to block him... I heard users cannot do it on his platforms. I hate rich man-babies with fragile egos who need to force themselves into others.

@madargon @aral people acting like he's got total control over the activitypub protocol is so self-defeating. There is no way the ActivityPub protocol could magically carve out an exemption to anyone, even if they tried to add such a thing it would be seen on GitHub since the development is open source.

@aral hope I'm naughty for telling every threads user I interact with (if that even happens) they should join real Fediverse services like Pleroma or Mastodon or Lemmy
