And that they will federate with them ? (Can’t seem to find it anymore at least)
I wonder how many people we’re gonna lose over this, because I for one, spent time blocking what I wanted to, to curate my feed, and it took time. I already migrated once, I’m not gonna do it again because some people can’t realize how toxic it’s going to be when they federate with us.
I see a lot of people saying they’ll just switch instances but haven’t seen anyone say they’ll just jump ship, am I alone ? Or maybe I’m missing an option that would allow me to transfer all my settings from one instance to another ?

If that is your general approach, why are you suddenly so eager to hand over that responsibility to the instance owner? Why are you pushing for that instances should curate the feeds of all their users, rather than the users themselves?
Fallacy much ?
Because I don’t want to be federated with threads doesn’t mean I want to hand over the curating to the instance owner, there’s such a thing as nuances.
I also formulated a wish for world to defederate, but my solution when they didn’t is to leave, you don’t see me brigading for them to absolutely do it, so please do not lend to me what I didn’t say.
Then you can block threads yourself, as a user. It’s as easy as that. Blocking threads on the entire instance makes it so admins are curating content for users. You don’t get a choice when an instance defederates, you do when it federates. Defederation is a last resort, not a panic kneejerk reaction.
Calling defederating Threads a “panic kneejerk reaction” is being very ignorant about who they are and what they do.
Learn how the tool works before.
If you block an instance, u can still interract with the users (with the new features), and they can comment posts on others instances and yours, and you will see them.
You will just don’t see the Thread specific content.
You are the jerk here
Threads federation really is a tempest in a teacup. People getting worked up over nothing.
Meta’s failed twitter clone probably won’t even federate with the threadiverse. Just look at this post. I see lemmy, I see kbin, I see lotide, I don’t see mastodon, pleroma, friendica, and so on and so forth at all. I don’t see minds (did you know that minds federates?), just a few programs of the same type.
Join us on lemmy.ml! Small and chill instance. Most people are nice left leaning FOSS geeks, interactions are mostly super nice. The only thing I dislike is the Chappo Trap House community, they will basically bully anyone who’s not a chappo-bro. I blocked them and voilà ! EDIT: Lol, why am I getting downvoted ?
There’s a lot of negatives surrounding moderating on that instance and I’m sure the community you mentioned doesn’t help.
Mmm I didn’t know that. Seems pretty relax to me, never had an interaction with any of the mods. To me it’s a very small reddit without all the toxicity. Good enough for me. Oh, and no porn, I guess that prevents many users from joining, probably a good thing in the end.
The creators of lemmy own/run it. I’m actually banned in one of the communities on there so just speak from experience there. From what I’ve seen they delete a lot of stuff they don’t agree with in a lot of communities instead of letting the conversation go. Also you say it’s small, but there’s 50,000 users.
Let Lemmy.world die Alone and leave them.
They dont care about ideology or others, they are juste sharky and want to make for them a name on the work of others.
I see it like it,
I see a lot of people saying they’ll just switch instances but haven’t seen anyone say they’ll just jump ship, am I alone ?
I have switched instances a lot. I don’t like the idea of other people curating my feed.

I’ll leave fediverse, so many instances in the fediverse are still federated with Threads
This is actually detrimental to the network unless you’re hosting a lot of other users. If it’s just you then you’re adding the federation load of an entire server just for your own personal use. Now all your subscriptions are a separate server pull on all the instances you subscribe to. Instead of using an existing instance that is already pulling
I had a spare computer that I installed Linux on a while back, but wasn’t using it for much at the time. If set up like that, all you would pay for is the electricity, which is very low if you’re only running Lemmy, probably only a couple of US dollars a month. You could probably run it on a raspberry pi, tbh.
Personally, I have solar panels that power my whole house. So it’s free for me.
There are probably better instances out there, but I’m on lemmy.dbzer0.com at the moment.
In Voyager, you can toggle showing users’ instances in Settings > Appearance.
