Threads
No he isn’t.
Nah. It’s threads. I’m pretty sure most fediverse instances blocked threads.net before they even tried to federate. I know mine did.
a lot of Lemmy did the rest of fediverse less so
Oh, I’m referring to my mastodon instance.
Mine also blocks it due to issues regarding poor moderation and hate speech.

Neither did Mastodon.social or Mastodon.online, though honestly I’d recommend people steer clear of those instances when signing up for a different reason, they’re also very widely blocked or limited by a lot of servers due to issues with spam and moderation. Ironic that these instances are already too big to effectively moderate, yet threads is bigger and also way worse (see link in other comment about their moderation issues) and yet people still want to federate with them.

I don’t really see the point since the federation is one-way (at least last time I heard), so you can’t reply to anything as it never gets sent back to threads. You’d be better off just following it as an RSS feed if you really want it (There are unofficial tools to do that for threads and it might be officially available in the future).

Mastodon instances need to defederate.
If you want to comment on any POTUS posts with the broader user base, you have to download Threads. Fuck that noise.
Don’t you love how the government is supporting private for-profit businesses? I received an amber alert 2 days ago and when I clicked the link it took me to Twitter. I don’t have a Twitter account and the page wouldn’t load. What in the actual fuck? Our government is using a website run by an insane man-child for critical infrastructure.
That’s just the link the local cops pasted into the alert form. They can put in a link to hampsterdance.com if they wanted to.
My point is that they should have a dedicated public service website that they use for these sorts of things.
Your state or county is probably using what was identified as an easy and accessible solution several years ago. It was probably selected because it was something any yahoo could easily access and post to.
Now that there are a lot of cheap and easy FOSS alternatives, it probably wouldn’t be too hard to petition for a ballot initiative that required these alerts to be published on a state masto instance or something.
Dethreaderate
That would be like Gmail blocking Yahoo, it defeats the purpose of a Fediverse especially when users can already block content from domains they dislike.
First of all, no it doesn’t. The fediverse is about servers communicating with each other, that doesn’t mean all servers, it just means that multiple servers communicate, and if a server is being problematic it will be blocked or limited, as another example a good amount of servers limit or block Mastodon.social and due to spam issues. Threads in this regard is no different, it just so happens to be a much bigger problem than Mastodon.social hence why there is much stronger efforts to defederate it.
especially when users can already block content from domains they dislike.
No, you are deliberately or unintentionally misrepresenting how domain blocks and indeed blocking in general works in Lemmy (Domain blocks target communities and do not hide users or their content), and even with Mastodon this doesn’t solve the biggest problems with threads, that being the extremely poor moderation and the EEE threat which are server wide problems and not user preference issues.
No, big corp with millions of users they cannot moderate defeats the purpose of a fediverse.
On behalf of the dozens of us here…. Welcome Joe!
Joe can’t see your welcome message. Threads can’t see content posted outside of Threads. It can only spam masto Instances, and if you want to comment, you need to download Threads.
For an account like this, who cares? It’s a one way flow of PSA type announcements anyway, not like Biden or his team would engage.
If I want to start a discussion about one of those posts, I’d do it on lemmy somewhere I suppose.

Can I follow him from L.W?
Lemmy doesn’t have a feature to follow users, last I checked.
Seeing what hits top from [email protected] lately, I believe it.
false alarm it’s only threads
POTUS puts the ‘fed’ in ‘fediverse.’
Thanks I hate it.
Also too bad that the White House has joined Meta, specifically, rather than the decentralized Fediverse, but libs gonna lib.

At least go with Geoncider in Chief or something. It may not be a word, but it still feels grammatically correct.
