Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed (mastodon.social)

For anyone wondering if Threads and Facebook at large will be a fine neighbor in the space and compatible with other apps/services in the fediverse: they’re already automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112126250737482807

Repeat after me: I will not federate with any Meta products.

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 48 points 7 months ago (21 children)

Serious question: how do we - the end users - stop federating with Meta?

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 65 points 7 months ago (9 children)

Migrate away from instances that embrace Meta to those that do not. Choose an instance that aligns with you.

Or in the extreme case, if you're the first who can't find such an instance and you're technically inclined, there's your room for a new instance. It's how the fediverse works and partly why Meta is so intent on destroying it.

How does one find a list of instances that aren't federated with meta?

Replied in another comment, but here is is again. https://fedipact.veganism.social/

Appreciate the link! Glad to see that both my mastodon and lemmy instances have already blocked their content.

[–] cyberic@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

What's the difference between blocked and fedipact?

[–] Skyhighatrist@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The tooltip for fedipact says: "Agreed to block all communications (their blocklist is private)"

To me that says, they've agreed but it's not confirmed that they've gone through with it because the blocklist is private. Blocked on the other hand says "All communications are blocked"

[–] cyberic@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 months ago

Thanks! I was on mobile and couldn't see the tooltip

[–] cyber_admin@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I think fedipact actually sign the pack to block and the others just blocked.

~~I don't know,~~ but you can check individual instances by going to the /instances subdomain and searching for threads.

shjw and blahaj are defederated, world isn't.
This can always change, but I have confidence in my admins.

Edit: Thanks to Canyon201@lemmy.world for this link

Unfortunately there is no explicit list, but I believe there are tools that will draw a graph of the fediverse and allow you to check that a particular instance does not. I'm not sure what the name is off the top of my head.

Naturally, if you see anything posted direct from Threads in your feed, that means your instance that you're connected to is passing that data.
