Attached: 1 image Edit: As mentioned below, it appears to be a bug, not intentional! Threads hiding @pixelfed mentions, not a good look Meta 🙄

For anyone wondering if Threads and Facebook at large will be a fine neighbor in the space and compatible with other apps/services in the fediverse: they’re already automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112126250737482807

    I don’t think you have to know how the poison works to know the snake bite will kill you.

    They will come here (edit: They HAVE come here) with a goal of exploiting and controlling the fediverse. You and I don’t have to know how they will do that in order for it to be true. Scrubbing links to a product that competes with Instagram from threads seems like a decent start though.

      I mean I am completely unsurprised by their misbehavior, I’m just slightly more optimistic about our ability to resist them.

      That said, the one danger I can see is Meta gaining more authority over the activitypub developers. That is probably something worth being vigilant about.

        What form would such resistance take if not advocating loudly for defederation?
