Flock... Meta has made an AI their dev lead for #Threads? [very very deadpan face]
But more seriously, I agree. #Fedi is kind of incompatible with current practice of standard corporations. Socia Goodl Corporations (various legal definitions in different jurisdictions,) on the other hand, can be both profitable and positive additions to the mix.
Tiny Mastodon Tip to Block a Domain
If you would like to block an entire domain or instance on Mastodon, there are 2 easy ways to do this.
Be careful however, this will
block everyone from this instance, and you will lose your followers and follows from this instance as well.
HOW TO
The easiest way is to find a user from the instance you want to block, then click on the 3-dot "Menu" button on their profile. From the drop-menu, select "Block domain DOMAIN_NAME"
You can also "pre-block" an instance or domain, even without a user account. From the web interface, go to "Preferences" > "Import and export" > "Export", then download the "CSV" file for your "Domain blocks"
Open the blocked_domains.csv
file as a text file
Type each domain you wish to block on a separate line. Save this file using the same filename
Back to your account, move to the "Import" section from the left-side menu. From the "Import type", select "Domain blocking list"
Select "Merge" to add blocked domains to your existing list, or "Overwrite" to only use the file you just saved
Verify the information on the confirmation page, then click "Confirm"
You are now (relatively) safer from this domain

oh this will be interesting, Meta have now assigned someone to actually direct #Threads - before it was just Adam Mosseri (head of Insta)
wonder if Threads will grow more with a dedicated "CEO"

#Zuckerberg profetizza un futuro che fa venire i brividi… Un mondo dove chi non indossa occhiali con intelligenza artificiale sarà cognitivamente inferiore agli altri.
È #Meta (quella di #Threads) stessa che sta creando un mondo dove chi non ha i suoi dispositivi diventa automaticamente inferiore agli altri. Un assistente AI integrato nella vita quotidiana che vede quello che vediamo e sente quello che ascoltiamo.
#Privacy ... questa sconosciuta.

#Meta ha trovato un nuovo modo per direzionare i propri utenti verso #Threads.
Fino ad oggi, l’accesso a Threads era vincolato esclusivamente all’utilizzo di un account #Instagram.
Oggi, grazie a una nuova fase di test confermata da una pagina di supporto ufficiale e riportata da Social Media Today, Meta introduce la possibilità di registrarsi anche tramite #Facebook.

Noi di #SnowFan siamo orgogliosamente NO-Threads.

hey there's a book about the history of the fediverse that's set to release physically on august 8th! and i'm in it!!! i got interviewed about #FediPact and #meta and #threads and all that. i really wanna have a physical copy of this book but sadly $35 for a paperback is outta my price range. anybody wanna help me out? it'd mean the world to me to have a tangible representation of all the hard work i've done on here :3
They're connected in that accounts (not in europe) can federate and I think, there are even hints of interaction possible. It's not much and certainly not for everyone, but I think it's enough to include them here: The list shall help people in finding official accounts to follow and get their news. That's possible with the ones from #Threads..
Noch mal der hinweis an alle! Bitte hört auf #Meta Dienste zu nutzen!
!!Alternativen!!
#Facebook : Kann man einfach löschen oder nutz #VK (is aber Russisch...)
#Instagram : #Pixelfed oder #BeReal
#Threads : #Bluesky oder #Mastodon
#WhatsApp / #Messenger : #Signal , #Threema oder #Session
#MetaAI : #LeChat
#CHOOSEEUROPE

Among other Zuck chicanery, it takes 3 taps to break out of the #Threads sandbox
Furthering the collapse? This is just mind boggling!
Zuckerberg pledges hundreds of billions for AI data centers in superintelligence push
“Its first multi-gigawatt data center, dubbed #Prometheus, is expected to come online in 2026, while another, called #Hyperion, will be able to scale up to 5 gigawatts over the coming years, #Zuckerberg said in a post on his #Threads social media platform.
"We're building multiple more titan clusters as well. Just one of these covers a significant part of the footprint of Manhattan," the #Billionaire CEO said.”

There has never been a better time to join the world of Free Open Source Software or begin self-hosting essential digital services.
Some recent news that made me feel grateful for my forays into self-hosting:
On my to do list for the fall: looking into taking full advantage of NextCloud‘s ecosystem because this software is incredibly sophisticated… the FOSS equivalent of a Swiss Army knife.
For those curious about it, here is their official website with documentation: https://nextcloud.com
Onwards and upwards!

ワイに特化されたサジェストかもしれんけど、TLに
「↗︎トレンド中: 参政党」
の表示が出て、支持をやめた人や、迷ってる人の発言がいっぱい見られます。
「そういう視点か」「自分のノンポリ時代を思い出すわ」「うまく知らせるにはどうしたら」と唸ってます。
#Threads はユーザー数が多い。そしてXよりかは罵詈雑言が少ない。Meta社だけど案外…いいかも…いまは…
People on @threads barely post links! They will quote news article but provide no links which is frustrating!
#Threads users still barely click links https://www.engadget.com/social-media/threads-users-still-barely-click-links-170139103.html
The zionist censorship on Threads is kicking in.
Meta Deleted an old post of mine from MAY! Pointing out that the zionists are the new nazis.
Well. Guess they don’t like folk finding out how hateful zionism actually is.
Death to zionism. Death to the IOF. Free Palestine. Screw Meta.
