Dear @Gargron,
A fediverse server called Threads is violating mastodon.social’s second server rule:
“2. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia…
Transphobic behavior such as intentional misgendering and deadnaming is strictly prohibited.”
Can you please defederate from this server to protect the trans people on mastodon.social?
Thank you.
PS. It’s run by these guys: https://techcrunch.com/2024/03/26/facebook-secret-project-snooped-snapchat-user-traffic/
@aral A lot of the people responding to your toot seemed to have skipped over the articles you linked to, and your point.
Meta is not operating openly and they are not moderating effectively.
@ErikJonker @bear Of course. But when the flagship instance makes a choice, it means something. Should there be a flagship instance? No, that’s a design failure. But there is. So what they do matters. Mastodon.social federating with Meta/Facebook/Threads legitimises Meta/Facebook/Threads. One of the ways we said the fediverse (and Mastodon, initially) was different was that instances would protect people, not just leave them to fend for themselves.
