Also the first barrier of picking a server (how it works, the rules of every instance, checking who they federate with) and an app (the will to test multiple apps, learning that to login you have to input the server url manually since most aren’t listed in the apps), to the people who read all the things it’s tedious but doable, for the rest it’s “Which one is the RIGHT choice?” and just stay at the door.

Also servers with poorly written rules don’t help (example: mstdn.mx says porn and politics are forbidden, but in reality they allow them as long as you tag then properly).

These kind of posts don’t help either, because it makes people feel like they are too stupid to join and rather stick to the known services, but omit all the actual process that someone has to go through.

Less text, my dude

Wait, this was supposed to be written from the wife’s perspective

Protein is protein

Cool, still not worth going through all the learning curve for a shitpost and then not touching it again for months

True and it’s basically the same for other Adobe products.
Tried to do some fx using davinci fusion, all the damn tutorials are outdated, too much work trying to figure it out for a shitpost.
It ended with me oppening After Effects, using Copilot and rendering.

I think preemtive defederation/blocking from Threads is the most logical decision for every instance since we are talking about a known hostile company, not something new testing the waters that nobody knows how it will behave, it’s Meta being Meta (even if they are trying to hide it behind the “by Instagram” slogan).

Well shit… guess it’s been abandoned.

There’s also booty.world but it’s not very active yet

Wait, can we talk about this? Nobody said anything so I tought we were waiting until this server became a target to defederate them or something, I basically have everything from that instance blocked

And it’s still hard to call it a gift, it’s more of an imposition.

Because it’s a non-issue since you can create a new account inside the blocked instance if you really have to check some community in there, the defederation can be rolled back and there are multiple similar communities through the different instances (or someone could start their own), so losing one of many doesn’t have the same impact as losing the only one.

Why would we complain if the zucc decides to not federate at all?

Users are free to download Threads and go lick zucc’s balls if they so desire, instances are just protecting themselves and the responsability that comes with it.

It’s getting tired reading so many zucc apologist, I swear they are bots or accounts created for that purpose

Not sure now, but at the time they had 4 moderators for the whole instance, this while the big Reddit migration was happening so it was a bomb waiting to blowup, also they’ve stated before that they want/plan to make it a safespace so they are not exactly made for federation since they’ll have to end up blocking a lot of instances to achieve that.
