Nostr Web Client

My view on Threads, IG and Meta joining the fediverse has evolved as I started to realize that the animosity between IG and nostr:npub120zh308gs69j3vwgvvrzgglv58vsk3q0vef43uajyu0lc3mtldsq2p33r2 may just be in my head.

My past actions of overly dramaticized posts about IG blocking our hashtag and the filter renaming thing were due to my own interpretation of intimidation, when really there could be technical/logical explanations that prove otherwise.

I will give them the benefit of the doubt, if not for me, for the fediverse, and Pixelfed users/admins.

nostr:npub12tyk735v52ju032qahe3k2r520jlsujaem6xr8n0ex6u7eqj0anq59vnqc At what point would they no longer deserve "benefit of the doubt"? in my opinion, those companies have done so many evil and anti-competitive things that I would be careful with everything they do.

Benefit of the doubt is for people. These are corporations, though.

nostr:npub120zh308gs69j3vwgvvrzgglv58vsk3q0vef43uajyu0lc3mtldsq2p33r2 Obviously everyone can make their own judgements, but I say this as the Pixelfed developer.

I will continue working on user-level blocks so users can opt to block threads if their admin doesn't!

Please don't use my opinion over your own judgement or your users, my job is to empower admins and users with tools to make the choice themselves!

Some users may want to connect with friends and family there, and others not. Each should be able to decide and exercise that choice - a bit like a democracy. If I don't follow any Threads accounts, how do they harm, my feed? What I post is public as we don't have walled pay-gardens, and I'm sure they can access it already if they wish.
