The fact that ✅ means "no" and ❌ means "yes" is very confusing.

That's not how you're supposed to think about it. I'm paraphrasing, but ✅️ means "safe" and ❌️ is the shape of your asshole when a known evil corpo entity comes to fuck you.

But muh agenda!

[–] Cwilliams@beehaw.org 33 points 1 year ago

Good. We need everyone to defederate with Threads

What's the difference between "fedipact" and "blocked"?

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 35 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Fedipact is an anti meta pact that some instances have taken.

Blocked is instances that have blocked meta but aren't part of that pact. Blahaj zone is one of the latter for example. We block threads because it houses hate groups. Were it to stop doing that, we wouldn't block them, but fedipact members still would, because their concerns are to do with what Meta itself represents

It's also that a bunch of them have private blocklists, but have agreed to the fedipact (seen with :onhover) and therefore have

Nice to hear. I am all in with keeping Zuck out of the Fediverse. Any initiative in that direction is a positive step, in my view.

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 11 points 1 year ago

I think it's just the fact that they've additionally signed this "pact" that says they'll never federate with them or anything else meta again. See the link at the bottom of the page.

It's mostly just symbolic, a sign of commitment.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do not see sopuli on there either.

[–] Bezier@suppo.fi 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is there and it's blocked.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Apparently I needed to load more, and not just do a search. Thank you.

[–] Kierunkowy74@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

kbin.social federates with Threads

[–] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 4 points 1 year ago

interestingly my instande says fedirated while it is blocked

[–] finickydesert@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Surprisingly for me is lemmyNSFW straight up blocked

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Interesting that most of the top Mastodon instances are fed rested whereas most other software, they are defederated. I wonder if it is due to how they work. Madrid in can have discussion but it's less focused on that. Lenny has more voting and so more likely to have a consensus that shows all views agreement not just the volume. So, Madrid in would be more susceptible to bad actors simplifying their view, yet the same is possible on all.

Doesn't work for me (lemmy.mindoki.com) okay I maybe have only one or two users but still 😅. BTW I had to tilt the phone to get put of the too small "reactive" page so that the search bar showed up.
