@aral I don't really get how this is a problem.

It's just another instance in fediverse. Threads don't get any more data than other servers do. And your data is publicly available, that's why it's social media. This is more dangerous, than the service that you don't use anyway.

And even if you don't like threads, just block it.

@winet Sure. Let’s also federate with Gab and every other instance blocked for being a bad actor. In fact, let’s just remove the feature of blocking servers entirely from the Mastodon codebase.

@aral @winet@mastodon.ml first, I didn't say that we should be federate with everyone. Maybe we have a different vision for a bad actor instance. For me it is servers that are made *primarily* for illegal or unacceptable behavior like, hate speech, "sharing" child porn, promoting violence, spam. Everything else is just people's opinions. Stupid, cringe, wrong everything but opinions.

@aral @winet@mastodon.ml "You think that Russia is "rescuing" Ukrainians from Nazi's? Ok, you go straight to mute" or if you want to, you can argue with them. Try to understand other side.

Not to be unsubstantiated, I just used threads for about 30 minutes I think. Either the meta hides very well, or the social network doesn't fit my "bad actor" criteria. I saw a post about there being a spam problem, but it's like we don't have any.

And besides, all the posts from threads will just go into a dumpster called "global feed" (by the way, this should be removed. It's impossible to find anything there except endless porn, news, hate and porn).
