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

Yes. You can check who is here https://fedipact.veganism.social.

mastodon.art blocked 5,805 Admin: Fuck off, Zuck

K. That's my top choice if I relocate.

Kind of a drama lightning rod. Fair warning.

Well, for non-German speaking europeans it makes sense, last time I checked .world was the only decently-sized English-speaking server in my area.

EDIT: well, apparently that’s no longer the case, good to be wrong I guess

decently-sized

Why does this matter? You can see everything on lemmy.world even if you come from a small instance. Size is not necessarily a benefit here.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

A small instance has a higher probability of the owner stopping maintaining it. Obviously this doesn’t apply if the instance is yours, but I’m not tech-savvy enough to do that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

You actually raise a good point: People may not join a smaller instance if you're not confident it's going to hang around.

I might see if I can publish a contingency/continuity plan in our next community update.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

True, that's fair. But I'd still join a small server to give it a chance and to keep them afloat. Small servers would maybe stay around more if more people joined :)

Lots of instances are hosted in Europe, maybe even the majority. I know lemm.ee and lemmy.ml are

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Lemm.ee still shows up as “private” in the Observer, but I don’t know how I missed .ml being in France (I really doubt they somehow “ moved” the server). Checking again you’re right though, the situation got a lot better over time.

So what's fedipacked mean?

Aussizone is the pink heart

I am stunned that so many instances think federation with Threads is a good idea.
