yesdogishere, to RedditMigration in Twitter traffic sinks in wake of changes and launch of rival platform Threads

for the sake of humanity, pls permaban threads from using activityhub etc if it in any way uses data shared with kbin/lemmy. threads is an abominatin - it doesn't show you when people mention you in replies, and it selectively shows you things which only zuckerprick wants to show you. so posts are not even shown chronologically, threads just doesn't bother to show you all the posts.

threads is clearly a vehicle for fascist control of the population, far more than twitter ever was. pls protect kbin/lemmy from being infected or else when threads is affected by political scandals, kbin/lemmy will be affected.

WHY IS KBIN/LEMMY NOT CLARIFYING THAT FACEBOOK THREADS IS BANNED ALREADY?????

Threads isn’t federated yet with anyone. The functionality is not there. When/if it does try to federate it will be with Mastodon instances, not kbin/Lemmy.

hypelightfly,

Kbin does federate with Mastodon instances and supports microblogs.

Is this satire?

Threads aren't even federated yet. There's nothing to defederate or ban.

Bozicus,

It is apparently possible to add “threads.net” to a defederation/ban list even though there’s no actual communication yet. It gives peace of mind to people who want to drop the portcullis on all commercial interests. But in practical terms, you’re right, there’s nothing to ban.

You cannot block someone from using activitypub, that just simply is not how it works.

With all due respect, please touch grass. "For the sake of humanity"? "Zuckerprick"? "A vehicle for fascist control of the population"?

You sound like a thirteen year old.

chaogomu,

To be fair, Facebook employs a man named Joel Kaplan as their head of Global Policy. Formerly their head of US Policy, Formerly a Bush White House Toady.

Kaplan is the reason who all the right-wing conspiracy websites pretending to be news orgs weren't banned from Facebook news feeds. He personally exempted them all from community standards and Facebook terms of service about lying and shit. He then ordered left leaning news to be scrutinized more heavily.

He's been stuffing the ranks of Facebook's middle and upper management with loyalty tested conservatives.

Kaplan also refused to make changes to the algorithm that would have helped fight hate speech, because anger and outrage drive higher engagement.

He's also ignoring at least three ongoing racial cleansings that are being actively powered by Facebook, because they're happening in countries that are not the US.

So in a way, it really is a vehicle for the fascist control of the population, or at least a fascist friendly media stream.

I'll take my slightly good news where I can get it. I'm begging for scraps over here!

This is perhaps not strictly RedditMigration, but it certainly discusses migration to Mastodon which is all good too!

If r/shitposting maliciously complies, it is gonna be over for Reddit.

Could they also use Seth Myers please? He, of the famed Corrections and target of the Jackals attention is also a worthy public figure.

That doesn’t explain why John Oliver was chosen tho.

runswithjedi,

I think the answer to why is "Internet"

It was partly his tweet and his overall skits on making fun of stupid moves companies makes on his show.

Trebach,

The tweet was in response to having already been chosen. He was fanning the flames.

sensibilidades,

in fairness, the title said “how”, not why

tdgoodman,

Just be glad it was John Oliver instead of Nicholas Cage.

Main stream reporting.

Get John's attention, hope he does a segment on it.

I hope he not only does, but that he drives attention here, it will bring new users.

John has acknowledged it on Twitter, but there won't be any segments on it until the writer's strike is over.
