yeah but threads has advertising and corporate money backing it up checkmate library
for real though my greatest fear is that threads devouring the fediverse regardless of how much of a dumpster fire it is
As long as instances defederate from them we should be just fine. I already know Beehaw is defederating from them so we're good here, and the instance of mastodon I'm on isn't federating with them. So just look up your instance's stance on the subject and join one that's making the right call. Then you know the communities you're building won't get Zucked
yeah thats what I plan on doing! I hope you're right and I'm just being paranoid. thankfully a lot of other instances are defederating from threads too... hopefully it'll be enough at least to keep a small part of the community safe
optimistically, the fact that zuck is even trying to take over the fediverse means he sees it as a threat. we've been already doing well enough without their "help" and it scares him
hopefully it’ll be enough at least to keep a small part of the community safe
Even if there's only one instance that's not federated with them it would be enough for a community, not as active sure, but it would be enough. We already have hundreds not federating with them! We won't have their user count but that's okay, we don't need billions of users like the centralized platforms to survive. We'll be alright, take a breather and enjoy your stay in the fediverse free of corpos 😄
On that note, because there's no ads/monetization we have to donate to support the server so make sure you're helping to support the instances you use (if you're able.)
yeah! You're right 😭🙂! and I'm so happy to see it.
donations are important too! id like to donate more when I can eventually when I am more stable (in the most general term). one day
I'm in a similar boat, past couple months have been rough on the finances with some unexpected expenses so I haven't been able to donate yet but plan to after my situation settles down again. Such is life.
Good luck, see you around the fediverse 😄
