Ive seen that pixelfed and peertube have the ability to add a licence to content. I think this would be great for everyone so we can get ahead of threads and have collective bargaining power when they inevitable put our content between ads.
Heres the pixelfed duscyssion on the issue: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/13 Here is mastadons discussion: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/20079
Im not sure if lemmy has a discussion yet i may create one later if one doesnt already exist.
The problem is that they are thousands times bigger than us. All our voices will be drowned out, in what we all know, is an ad-driven post contest.
We can whine and cry but their predatory algorithms will just chew on our content and spit it back in, filled with ads, misinformation et al.
That’s why we dont want to federate with threads/facebook.
there are no ads on my site, so not sure why you keep bringing ads up.
that threads will overwhelm any instance would be about that instance’s content as AP is largely user-driven processing. plausible, but definitely not a reason to “fucking block threads at all costs blahargghgghhhh!”. you almost have a reason here in resource consumption. almost, but not really. we dont know what their implementation will look like of the protocol.
i was concerned about bots (only due to resource usage), but bot management is well underway in many dev channels
it sounds like youre all just afraid to moderate your own servers.
I didn’t say you’re having ads on your site, you seems confused about how large sites like facebook operates, they can push narratives (they do) and fake information etc.
Also what’s it about me “being afraid”, do you have no valid arguments?
I sure wonder why people are so up in arms defending Facebook, drinking their boot juice.
im not going out of my way to block metas comm protocols any more than i go out of my way to block nestles comm protocols. thats it for me. causes me no work or worry.
its the rest of the verse thats telling me how [my] world is going to end with the existence of a threads server.
if anyone is pushing a weird narrative its the anti-facebook, ‘block meta at all costs’ crowd… and i fucking hate facebook.
what i am going to do is give threads users an offramp from that monstrosity.
