Some people say I'm going against the law but I'm under the age of 14 so I am protected by the Juvenile Act and I don't think spamming is illegal in the first place.


(bottom post)

The person who spams is me.
It has nothing to do with the person who did the crime advance notice.
Just to clarify.

So annihilation.social, which seems to be an instance with known issues, is running a bot to identify and post about instances that are blocking #threads.

Other users are then using those posts to send messages to the instance admins asking them to justify their decision (to harass admins of instances that block #Meta, basically).

An example: https://attractive.space/@expert/111582436230554231

Hi @joanna, I hope you're well!

I noticed #Threads is blocked on your instance.
I'm curious about the reason behind this decision and would appreciate hearing your perspective.

What stops you wanting to interact with Threads users? Knowing you're on small instance, I understand it's a personal decision.

But I want to make sure that this isn't a situation when you just block Threads because everyone else blocks or 'cause you're a hater of #Meta .

Thanks in advance for reply.



oh, here's some JUICY rumored details about meta's plans for the fediverse

tl;dr "Meta will only federate with select larger instances from the beginning. There will be contracts which also provide for financial compensation for the instance owners."

can't entirely verify their validity but it's still worth posting just in case

You make some strong arguments here. It's great to see you laying out your reasoning in detail and with passion. theart: That's the spirit. What | have learned, however, is that Meta will only federate with select larger instances from the beginning. There will be contracts which also provide for financial compensation for the instance owners. Meta positions itself as a “savior’, because especially the big instances have a very strong financial pressure. Users take it for granted that someone else is paying for everything. In these contracts, Meta also specifies the rules regarding the moderation. Instances will have the option of allowing ads from Meta or not (with the benefit of additional compensation). Smaller instances will have the possibility to register for a federation with Meta in a second step, but there will be no financial compensation and Meta decides if they will grant access based on their reputation.
Regarding Meta, I'm in the industry for 25 years and have a few friends who worked at Meta from the early years until recently. One s stil there. Regarding UFol, | was part of the disussion at the time, we held a vote at Emacs.ch P R S But don' take this at face value, obvisouly these admins have to sign harsh NDAS. But it sounded very credible and | could not imagine it going any ther way. Examples of big instances (from Japan | believe?) show that the long-term burdens are simply unbearable and operators just wait for the right moment to e 1donot critizise Meta for their attempt to use the favor of the hour to their ‘advantage. As a public corporation its theijob to make proft. As I said, its not them who will decide the fate of the Fediverse. ‘Overworked/stressed out admins, high costs for infrastructure, ongoing disputes ‘and moderation challenges are what threaten the Fediverse. It was not meant to ‘9row o fast before we find common solutions for these issues. What do you think?


the point of putting instances on fediblock for having rules against fundraising

is to shun them from the wider fediverse community for having those rules, in the hopes that they will maybe change them

because policies like that harm marginalized people every single day. banning people for "begposting" is taking away their livelihood

and it's also to protect people from their users needlessly reporting those posts on other instances and getting all judgy and harassing them
