So this is apparently NOT enough for mastodon.social to defederate Threads.
What a complete and utter betrayal.
You EITHER federate with Meta/Threads and have them be a partner in your Social Web Foundation OR you support LGBTQ+ people and human rights for all.
You can’t do both.
Not after this.
The fact that we even have to fucking try to convince you to do the right thing is disgusting. What the fuck happened to you? Was it always just lip service? A fucking “unique selling point?” If not, pick a fucking side. It shouldn’t be too damn hard when one of those sides is fascism.
@aral@mastodon.ar.al he didn't seem to mind that meta's piss poor moderation and profit-at-any-cost drive had already facilitated a genocide, so I guess I can't say I expected any different at this point.
@aral Meta really went all-in on the "new reality" of mainstream fascism.
They explicitly permit harassment of queer folk, and explicitly reject facts.
There's no way to cleverly interpret that.
It's just 100% awful.
@aral seems like I started my own instance just in time 
@aral I don't know who you think you're talking to, but you should be talking to the administrator of your Mastodon site. Each individual site has an individual administrator and that administrator is the one who can decide to allow or block on their site. If they all choose to block, then we don't have to deal with that. If yours doesn't, you might have to move to another site with an administrator who won't put up with this.
@wbpeckham The person I’m talking to knows who I’m talking to; and those who know what I’m referring to do as well :) (And I run my own instance, which, of course, blocks Threads and has done so from Day 1.)
@aral I am very glad your instance is blocking threads. Your post did not make it at all clear who you were referring to or if you even knew who should take the actions you were recommending. And posting it that way, there's no guarantee that other admins will necessarily see it. I hope they do.
@wbpeckham @aral his post literally mentions mastodon.social by name
@aral How can we get Facebook kicked out of the Social Web Foundation? And if we can't, in what way does it represent the people of the social web?
There ought to be some kind of petitioning process perhaps.
