"i am an instance admin/mod on the fediverse. by signing this pact, i hereby agree to block any instances owned by meta should they pop up on the fediverse. project92 is a real and serious threat to the health and longevity of fedi and must be fought back against at every possible opportunity"

This makes it just confusing? The pink heart = good, but the red cross = good too? But again the red cross seems bad as green = blocked.

Sorry I don't get it.

  • green checkmark = blocked
  • pink heart = blocked, signed fedipact
  • yellow exclamation mark = limited
  • red cross = not blocked

Thank, I'm probably an idiot :-)

Edit: I'll get to it (my instance is small, I'm not very knowledgeable about the nitty gritty stuff, can I do it from Jerboa for example, or is it in some config file? I remember putting someone on the whitelist and thus blocking the whole fediverse...)

It's a silly hashtag för instances that are in a "pact" to block Threads

Because the people signed the pact did it long time ago, before any details about Threads federation was known. It was a typical fedi kneejerk reaction.

You'd have to be a dumbass to federate with these megacorps lol. We're here precisely because of the decisions of one such company.

I guess majority on fedi are dumbasses in that case ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mastodon is pretty fucked up anyway because everyone is on mastodon.social.

The key detail about Threads is that it's owned by Meta. That's the reason to block Threads. It was known back then, so there's nothing silly about it.
