Hey, anyone know if mastodon.social still federates with Meta’s Threads?
(Assuming they have some common decency and don’t but just wanted to make sure.)

@aral They do. I can still see posts from calm via threads for example
@stevenixon How unconscionable. So they must be fine with Meta’s stance on moderation.
@christiansblog @stevenixon Good try but senpai didn’t notice you.
@aral I doubt they've even thought about it. Probably working on the reasoning that you don't *have* to engage with anyone from threads! For myself, I only follow calm on there, and no one follows me, so I have 0 interactions with threads even though there is federation.
@aral I literally just clicked on a zuck comment yesterday
Mastodon dot Social is our boy Gargron, who has been fan-boying Zuckerberg for as long as I've know about Gargron
So what would you think?
@aral Getting A.I. to act like engaging people in the face of the masses getting bored and leaving or just not connecting as much, and now cutting out censorship and fact-checking.
Sounds like things are going great at Meta.
@aral calling woman "household objects" isn't permitted on Facebook or Meta apps. They're just opening the fact checking progress to the community by doing what X did with community notes. The moderation against hate speech is still there.
@batuhan They don’t need your pro bono bootlicking, they have professionals on their payroll.
@aral For now they do.
