Aral BalkanSo this is apparently NOT enough for mastodon.social to defederate Threads.What a complete and utter betrayal.<a href="https://news.sky.com/story/metas-new-guidelines-allow-users-to-say-lgbt-people-are-mentally-ill-13285449" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://news.sky.com/story/metas-new-guidelines-allow-users-to-say-lgbt-people-are-mentally-ill-13285449</a><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mastodonSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodonSocial</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meta</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/threads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#threads</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/moderation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moderation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mastodonGGMBH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodonGGMBH</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/lgbt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lgbt</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lgbtq</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/humanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humanRights</a>

Aral BalkanHey, anyone know if mastodon.social still federates with Meta’s Threads?(Assuming they have some common decency and don’t but just wanted to make sure.)<a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/01/07/tech/meta-hateful-conduct-policy-update-fact-check" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://edition.cnn.com/2025/01/07/tech/meta-hateful-conduct-policy-update-fact-check</a><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meta</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/treads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#treads</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mastodonGGMBH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodonGGMBH</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mastodonSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodonSocial</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/moderation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moderation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a>

Aral BalkanLooks like Mastodon gGmbH’s latest moves are adored by folks who work at surveillance capitalists like Medium and Google.Good job, Mastodon gGmbH… you’re doing amazing, sweetie!<a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/bizStone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bizStone</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#twitter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mastodonGGMBH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodonGGMBH</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigTech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/SiliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SiliconValley</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/@dimillian/112381366452162899" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mastodon.social/@dimillian/112381366452162899</a>

Nemo_bis 🌈Worrying: <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/MastodonGGmbH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MastodonGGmbH</a> had its non-profit status revoked in Germany. <a href="https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/04/mastodon-forms-new-u.s.-non-profit/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/04/mastodon-forms-new-u.s.-non-profit/</a>Hopefully this is an egregious mistake by the authorities and gets overturned quickly. In the meanwhile, it must be difficult to do any financial planning without knowing what the tax liabilities will be.A year ago I recommended asking for help from people with more experience. <a href="https://github.com/mastodon/joinmastodon/issues/371#issuecomment-1627037074" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/mastodon/joinmastodon/issues/371#issuecomment-1627037074</a>Going at it alone with a new USA entity sounds like the opposite direction was chosen.

Aral Balkan“The Kansas Reflector published an artical about Meta censoring environmental articles about climate change — deeming them ‘too controversial’.Facebook then censored the article about Facebook censorship, and then after an independent site published a copy of the climate change article, Facebook censored it too.”<a href="https://changelog.complete.org/archives/10657-facebook-is-censoring-stories-about-illegal-raid-in-marion-kansas" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://changelog.complete.org/archives/10657-facebook-is-censoring-stories-about-illegal-raid-in-marion-kansas</a>Welcome to the fediverse, friend.<a href="https://www.platformer.news/mastodon-interview-eugen-rochko-meta-bluesky-threads-federation/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.platformer.news/mastodon-interview-eugen-rochko-meta-bluesky-threads-federation/</a><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#facebook</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meta</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/threads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#threads</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mastodonDotSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodonDotSocial</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mastodonGGMBH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodonGGMBH</a>

Aral BalkanIf you’re on mastodon.social, I would highly recommend that you switch to a different server that protects its people instead of exposing them to a well-known bad actor like Facebook/Meta via Threads.For alternatives, see: <a href="https://fedipact.veganism.social" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedipact.veganism.social</a>And remember that Mastodon is not the fediverse. The fediverse is much more than just Mastodon and definitely more so than mastodon.social and Mastodon gGmbH.<a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mastodonSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodonSocial</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mastodonGGMBH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodonGGMBH</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/threads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#threads</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#facebook</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meta</a>

Aral BalkanThe fediverse is much more than what Mastodon (and most definitely Mastodon gGmbH) allows it to be.Don’t let folks who see nothing wrong with getting into bed with a documented bad actor like Meta/Facebook limit the potential of this fledgling network for short-term dopamine hits from “number goes up!”<a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meta</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#facebook</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/threads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#threads</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mastodonGGMBH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodonGGMBH</a>
