@django @cwebber yeah sorry, I replied too quickly, I found it

[cwebber@social.coop]

@moira @django no worries, it did prompt me to add a link to the thread of replies, good call

[fedipact@cyberpunk.lol]

@cwebber way ahead of ya

[wim_v12e@scholar.social]

@cwebber @kingu "begone, foul dwimmerlaik"

[davey_cakes@mastodon.ie]

@cwebber it has always been time for an Isolate Threads campaign.

Or do you mean airgapping the company physically and not just a #fedipact kind of thing

[cwebber@social.coop]

@davey_cakes mainly I just wanted to indicate that by explicitly saying that transpobia and racism is now allowed, #fedipact is now the same level of concern that Isolate Gab was

[slink@tilde.zone]

@cwebber forgive me for being an idiot, but it seems like this is a small step in the right direction?
From what I’ve seen, the *current* Meta stance is to allow alt-right views and shadowban left-leaning accounts. The other thing he mentioned was removal of foreign intelligence bots, which from what I’ve seen mainly target antifascist posts (yuumei art’s protest pieces come to mind).
Is there anything I’m missing?

[cwebber@social.coop]

@slink Did you actually watch the same video where he said that the election of Trump is an indicator that it's time to prioritize allowing more right-leaning speech and that they're going to remove restrictions on transphobic and racist content?

Because that's the video *I* watched. Which one did you watch? https://www.facebook.com/zuck/videos/1525382954801931/

I am not looking forward to the shit storm I may stuble in on when I clock back into work January 9th.

@cwebber this looks like preemptive compliance with Project 2025, section 28 on FCC: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24088042-project-2025s-mandate-for-leadership-the-conservative-promise/

In particular, the move to TX looks like a reason to cozy up to TX HB 20 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_House_Bill_20), as suggested on p849.

[suetanvil@freeradical.zone]

@wim_v12e @cwebber @kingu

"Zuck off" is right there!

[foolishowl@social.coop]

@cwebber @davey_cakes social.coop should re-evaluate its policy.

[zetabeta@mastodon.social]

@cwebber
reminder:
meta inc owns whatsapp.

do you use whatsapp ?!

[thzinc@hachyderm.io]

@cwebber seems others are drawing similar conclusions: https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/7/24338125/meta-mark-zuckerberg-fact-checking-censorship-brendan-carr-trump

[deberupts@mastodon.social]

@cwebber How do you block Threads on here?

[foodhistorygeek@pnw.zone]

@DebErupts

One way (I don't know if it is the best), is to find a Threads user's profile page and "Block domain."

[thenexusofprivacy@infosec.exchange]

@cwebber Indeed.

See @jat23's Closing the Door to Remain Open: The Politics of Openness and the Practices of Strategic Closure in the Fediverse and the "Why the Anti-Meta Fedi Pact is good strategy for people who want the fediverse to be an alternative to surveillance capitalism" section of Should the Fediverse welcome its new surveillance-capitalism overlords? Opinions differ! for more about what's been done so far.
