Where do I find a list of blocked instances?
There was a post 12 days ago about preemptively defederating from Threads with this response from mod/admin @[email protected]
Someone said Threads was still on the Linked Instances column, not the Blocked Instances column. [Edited to delete mischaracterization of a statement]
Where can I find this list of Linked vs. Blocked?
I have [this] but I don't see Threads on there. [Edited to delete bad information]
If Threads is defederated, does that mean Meta/Facebook are as well?
Thanks!
Not sure if part of the post or just my slow connection, but that image took forever to load. HA!
"you can do what you want"
So far, that's not been my experience. I tried deleting my lemmy.world instance/account but it didn't work. I posted to lemmy.world Support and have not received any response https://lemmy.world/post/1230305. It's only been 3 days, so I'll give it some more time. Though I thought I would at least get a reply acknowledging receipt. The only response to my post was another person experiencing the same problem.
Calling all Armenian proverb explainers: All Balls, No Shaft (Musk v. Zuck)
"Other platforms cannot replace it," said a senior member of the Taliban in a tweet, explaining that Meta is "intolerant."
I found this on The Verge, though it originated on Vice. I tried posting a screenshot, but that didn't work:
“Zuckerberg is clearly the Mullah Omar of this situation,” Shabanian said, referring to the founder of the Taliban and previous ruler of Afghanistan.. “You may not like him, but at least you know what you're getting. And it's uniform across platforms and districts. Unlike going with Musk, who represents a lawless, profit-driven society. Musk is all balls, no shaft, as the ancient Armenian proverb goes.”
Any thoughts on the story behind this proverb?
I still have my Reddit account and will check in briefly, but I'm not posting or upvoting. Mostly I check subreddits that I haven't found a similar alternative here.
Somewhere I came across https://teddit.net/ which is kind of interesting. It shows Reddit r/all; you can't login to your Reddit account, but it keeps traffic away from actual Reddit.
So far, I'm having a (more or less) fun time figuring out kbin/Lemmy!
