Thank you for your patience. After observing the first 24 hours of Threads, we decided to block threads.net (in advance of them at some point joining the Fediverse).

There are openly, aggressively transphobic accounts on Threads.net with no visible attempt at moderation. We would defederate from any other Fediverse instance with that behaviour and no moderation, and there is no reason to treat threads.net any different.

🚨 ROUND 2 STARTS NOW 🚨

16 gone, but 16 remain. Who will progress to the next round and get one step closer to becoming the WORST PERSON IN TECH? You decide.

I often download #books (and rarely also films) simply because I can’t buy what I want #DRM-free and in an open format. I always had the intuition I was justified in doing so, but now thanks to @pluralistic I know there’s a perfect moral argument to support this practice:

“If buying isn’t owning, #piracy isn’t stealing”

It’s hard not to say “AI” when everybody else does too, but technically calling it AI is buying into the marketing. There is no intelligence there, and it’s not going to become sentient. It’s just statistics, and the danger they pose is primarily through the false sense of skill or fitness for purpose that people ascribe to them.
