Meanwhile, a #PSA to all #fediverse admins, especially to the server I use in @SDF@social.sdf.org @SDF

You should really block Threads by now if you haven't done so already as they're going to inject ads into their platform.

I'm interested in those that signed the #FediPact. If anyone would like to recommend any, feel free! (I have one in mind from a kind recommendation from a friend, but it'd be good to double-check options!)

With today's news that Meta is getting rid of fact checkers and changing its policies to allow more hate speech directed at trans and queer people, seems like a good time to resurface these detailed instructions on how to block Threads.

If you want even more protection, your best bet is to move to an instance that's blocking threads -- see fedipact.veganism.social to check the status of your instance. And I agree with @kissane's recommendation in the excellent Untangling Threads

"I think the nearest thing to reasonably sturdy protection for people on fedi who have good reason to worry about the risk surface Threads federation opens up is probably to either…
  • block Threads and post followers-only or or local-only, for fedi services that support it, or
  • operate from a server that federates only with servers that also refuse to federate with Threads—which is a system already controversial within the fediverse because allowlists are less technically open than denylists."

The best time to have joined the #fedipact was two years ago.

Second best time is right now.

Welcome.

#FediPact

Friendly advice for those who are planning to move to a new #Mastodon instance: make sure to check the list of instances that did not federate with Meta's #Threads available here fedipact.online/ before making the move.
One doesn't need super powers to foresee what is going to happen there in terms of moderation,so do yourself a favour and chose a Meta-free instance :ablobowo:

other significant changes made to meta’s hateful conduct policy tuesday include...

#FediPact #meta #threads

Removing language prohibiting content targeting people based on the basis of their “protected characteristics,” which include race, ethnicity, and gender identity, when they are combined with “claims that they have or spread the coronavirus.” Without this provision, it may now be within bounds to accuse, for example, Chinese people of bearing responsibility for the Covid-19 pandemic.
A new addition appears to carve out room for people who want to post about how, for example, women shouldn’t be allowed to serve in the military or men shouldn’t be allowed to teach math because of their gender. Meta now permits content that argues for "gender-based limitations of military, law enforcement, and teaching jobs. We also allow the same content based on sexual orientation, when the content is based on religious beliefs.”
Another update elaborates on what Meta permits in conversations about social exclusion. It now states that “people sometimes use sex- or gender-exclusive language when discussing access to spaces often limited by sex or gender, such as access to bathrooms, specific schools, specific military, law enforcement, or teaching roles, and health or support groups." Previously, this carve-out was only available for discussions about keeping health and support groups limited to one gender.
Meta’s Hateful Conduct policy previously opened by noting that hateful speech may “promote offline violence.” That sentence, which had been present in the policy since 2019, has been removed from the updated version released Tuesday. (In 2018, following reports from human rights groups, Meta has admitted that its platform was used to incite violence against religious minorities in Myanmar.) The update does preserve language towards the bottom of the policy prohibiting content that could “incite imminent violence or intimidation.”

meta's really goin mask-off with the whole fascism thing now it seems

Move our trust and safety and content moderation teams out of California, and our US content review to Texas. This will help remove the concern that biased employees are overly censoring content.


#FediPact #meta #threads

zuck threads: It's time to get back to our roots around free expression and giving people voice on our platforms. Here's what we're going to do: Replace fact-checkers with Community Notes, starting in the US. Simplify our content policies and remove restrictions on topics like immigration and gender that are out of touch with mainstream discourse. Change how we enforce our policies to remove the vast majority of censorship mistakes by focusing our filters on tackling illegal and high-severity violations and requiring higher confidence for our filters to take action. Bring back civic content. We're getting feedback that people want to see this content again, so we'll phase it back into Facebook, Instagram and Threads while working to keep the communities friendly and positive. 5/ Move our trust and safety and content moderation teams out of California, and our US content review to Texas. This will help remove the concern that biased employees are overly censoring content. Work with President Trump to push back against foreign governments going after American companies to censor more. The US has the strongest constitutional protections for free expression in the world and the best way to defend against the trend of government overreach on censorship is with the support of the US government. It'll take time to get this all right and these are complex systems so they'll never be perfect. But this is an important step forward and I'm looking forward to this next chapter!
