DavidBHimself, to meta

I'm really tired of the holier-than-you people on the Fediverse!

No, Threads is not full of trolls and evil people just because Meta is evil. Threads is full of people who are not terminally online like we are. This is idiotic to want to block Threads by default. If anything let's show them there is another way.

No, the big Mastodon instances are not full of trolls and evil people just because they're the big instances. They're full of people who are into the Fediverse but for reasons that are theirs have no time, energy, or interest to join smaller instances. This is idiotic to want to block such instances. If anything let's teach them about smaller instances.

And right now, I see people building bridges with BlueSKy and I see very negative reactions from some people about that. Well... No, BlueSky is not full of trolls and evil people.

I'm so fucking annoyed with this bullshit attitude.

Honestly, if your response is "don't federate" every single fucking time, have you thought for a second that maybe, just maybe, you are in the wrong place? Fedi fucking verse. It's in the name.

If you don't want to communicate with people who are different from you, you're honestly no different from the people you are calling names. Please go to your instance that's defederated from everyone else, or even better, go on a closed Discord or something.

Fuck, I barely finished my second coffee and I'm already annoyed.

Can someone tell me in the #fediverse if this #threads thing is #satanicpanic or a real thing? #fedihelp

✍️ Edit: Mostly Satanic Panic, #mastodon.

DavidBHimself,

@LALegault From what I see, most people freaking out don't fully understand federation.
Sadly, leftist moral panics are sometimes as sad and ridiculous as right-wingers' moral panics.

If you don't like Threads, don't use Threads. At best ignore posts that will eventually show up in your timeline if your host hasn't preemptively blocked Threads in a knee-jerk reaction, at worst, block it yourself.

End of story.
