The moderation policy changes at Meta are deeply troubling and should be a concern to anyone with a conscience. While the fediverse is a decentralized platform where different service providers have different moderation policies, at mastodon.social, hate speech is prohibited, and we will take action on any Threads account found violating our policies. I would strongly urge anyone with a Threads account to reconsider their alignment with the new direction at Meta and move to Mastodon instead.
@Gargron the clue is "anyone with a conscience." That leaves out the tech industry, Republicans, and evangelicals
@tasket @rrb @Gargron It was largely defensible to federate with Threads when the problem was just that it was corporate and undermoderated - provided you could do your own moderation of them.
It's not defensible to federate with naziverse instances - that is, instances which explicitly allow and encourage hate speech. With the new policy announcement, including a how-to tutorial on transphobic hate, Threads has clearly become the latter.
@dalias @tasket @rrb @Gargron "Threads has clearly become the latter." Well, not instantly, but chances do seem high that it will over time.
Before this I was in favor of the instance I chose (mindly.social) federating with Threads. I follow a number of people there, and would have considered changing instances to continue to be able to follow those Threads users. Now, maybe I would just let those users go if mindly.social defederates with Threads, and hope some of those I followed moved to Mastodon or at least Bluesky (with bridging enabled) after Threads becomes more like X.
