«Anche se non abbiamo firmato il #Fedipact, condividiamo i timori espressi e l'istanza gestita da @LaQuadrature bloccherà #Threads e qualsiasi servizio #Meta che possa unirsi al fediverso finché non sarà introdotto dalla normativa un regolatore in grado di affrontare GAFAM e altri giganti della tecnologia»
The fediverse (a blend made from “federation” and “universe”) is a group of social media consisting of a multitude of platforms and software, each of them communicating with the others using a common protocol.

Be aware that blocking Threads might not alone protect your data from reaching Meta’s servers.
However, it is a great way to take a stand against surveillance capitalism, and the more people do it, the least impact Meta will have on the Fediverse
If everyone did this together, they would have no power over us ✊🐘✨
So after wading into the debate yesterday based on an article written by @ploum (and posted by @dangillmor), and the larger #fedipact controversy, I decided to share a slightly more coherent version of my thoughts. I still think unnecessary #gatekeeping and preemptive #bans suck and will cause a helluva lot more damage to the protocol than Meta likely will, but as always, hope others who differ in their thoughts will engage in some healthy debate, and not just resort to calling me a troll for having a different opinion than them.
I've done some thinking about how I feel about the fedipact and the discourse about it.
It's not a secret that I am an enthusiastic supporter of the #fedipact.
I've also been thinking about the concept of consent, power and freedom of association.
Where you choose to post online, this gives an admin power over you. Which is fine as long as you realise the potential consequences. This is where the consent part comes in.
