Part 7 of Strategies for the free fediverses.  As the first post in the series discusses, the "free fediverses" are regions of the fediverse that reject Meta and surveillance capitalism, and these strategies position the free fediverses as an alternative to Threads and "Meta's fediverses".

Transitive defederation – defederating from instances that federate with Threads as well as defederating from Threads – isn’t likely to be an all-or-nothing thing in the free fediverses. Tradeoffs are different for different people and instances. This is one of the strengths of the fediverse, so however much transitive defederation there winds up being, I see it as overall as a positive thing – although also messy and complicated.

The recommendation here is for instances to consider #TransitiveDefederation: discuss, and decide what to do. I’ve also got some thoughts on how to have the discussion – and the strategic aspects.

    Lack of isolation online played a big part in my deconverting from Christianity.

    These goobers on Mastodon content warning a fucking dog looking at you or, heaven forbid, a plate of food, cracks me up.

    How do they function day to day? Grow up.

        Where’s the strawman? Those are specific examples I’ve seen.

            I’ll invite you to reread my original comment to answer your question.

                Jesus you’re annoying.

                Here is a single example from 10 seconds of scrolling.

                Now, what are you going to do with that information? What was the point?

                Edit: hahaha just search Mastodon for “eye contact”. There’s more than I originally thought.

                    Ah, so now that I’ve shown I wasn’t full of shit, you need to change tack.

                    This is something you could have responded with to my original comment.

                    And it is a form of isolation. Its isolation the poor sensitive souls on Mastodon subject themselves to willingly.

                    I’m vegan and I’ve run into vegans on mastodon who bitch and moan about CW on posts with animal products and that’s just as ridiculous.

                    Again, grow the fuck up.
