Good that threads.net is in top 50 but I would’ve liked to see it higher. Right now it is at 39th place.
Edit: Also what is the source for the picture?
What’s up with the downvotes?
No clue.
My theories:
- A lot of people like threads.net
- They don’t like I asked for a source
- Or they don’t like the copyleft license
Because that’s literally all the information my comment gives.
It’s so weird.

Guy here with a sig in his comments like it’s a model train forum in 2004 wtf where’s the animated emoji
Trumpislovetrumpislife, that has to be satire, right?
sign up to a non pedo instance that list and you’ll actually see and talk about stuff instead of having a leftoid circle jerk.
I have to know what the Detroit soccer team did to get so high on that list. Somebody here must know. Please!
it’s a big pedo instance iirc
Really? I know they have a bunch of porn bots, I don’t think I ever interacted with someone on there, just saw bot posts in my federated feed. I never noticed anything pedoish, but of course I don’t click content warnings so I wouldn’t know, I’m not interested in NSFW stuff on fedi.
Some of those instance names are, uh, interesting.
I was curious what freak.university was but it just leads to a 404 :/
Based on some of these other site names, you probably don’t actually want to know
Mm, true yeah
hexbear isn’t even malicious. hexbear is spicy at best. not nearly as bad as lemmygrad, which is outright repugnant in its overt hostility. hexbear users are at least CAPABLE of communicating, whereas in my experience lemmygrad users pull the animal farm squealer move and defecate on the floor before storming out.
“Naw guys, the tankie platform is fine I promise. Please let
usthem harass everyone again. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ”How did Hexbear ever harass everyone here? Lemmy.world never even federated with them for a second.
You thankfully appear to have not been exposed to a “proper” hexbear thread where all they can do to communicate is call you a shitlib for doing things like acknowledging genocide.
Do you have examples? I am not doubting, since I’ve seen loads of people saying it. But I’ve never come across it myself.
I have the entire instance blocked in my client, so I can’t even go searching for a thread for you. But if you don’t, it should be incredibly easy to poke the hexbear, so to speak. Lemme grab you a link…
Here, this one should work. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Uyghurs_in_China
Find an appropriate sublemmy on Hexbear and post this, ideally in a context that explicitly declares you oppose genocide. You’ll get nothing but the following in your thread:
- Accusations that you are a “shitlib”. Any attempt by you to find out what this word means will result in additional mockery.
- Denials of the Uyghur genocide.
- Adoration of the CCP, especially Xi Jinping (but Hexbear likes any authoritarian tyrant in China, so any CCP politician may end up adulated).
Lol. Absolute nonsense. Every time anyone is asked for an example of bad Hexbear behaviour they can only ever say “I HAVE NO EXAMPLES BUT I PROMISE IT WILL HAPPEN”. Speak about other people like they’re human beings pl0x
As long as the pedo shit is blocked i dont see why u would want to defederate instead of letting each user block what they want. We need a user level federated blocklist.
Anything illegal posted on a remote server will bring legal trouble to you as a server admin the moment it federates onto your instance. Therefore I completely understand them defederating from instances with a high risk of illegal activity.
At least on Lemmy, defederating is also a way of banning all the instance’s users from your communities. If you’re constantly banning one instance’s users and their admins seem fine with it, there’s really no other way.
Because in order to block content, the user first has to see it. If I were an instance admin, I wouldn’t force my users to see any amount of N words and homophobic slurs, not even the once it takes to block it.
Hence tge need for a federated blocklist.
With a blocklist, the user is putting their trust in an unnamed group of people with essentially no accountability. With defederation, the user puts their trust in admins they can talk to, with a public modlog to explain every decision. You’re proposing to take the same amount of control away from users, but with less accountability.
You can have the federated blocklist people named, decisions for adding to list public and explained. That way it would be the same as with admins
All that work just to make it the same as what we already have
They are both essentially the same thing except u decided to call one group of unnamed people Admins and suddenly they have responsibility and authority.
The difference, and the best part of the fediverse imho, is that if you’re not happy with someone elses rules you can become your own admin and set your own rules. The more we centralize power the further we go against that idea.
If you want to see far-right content and spam, join a far-right server or run your own, rather than trying to shame server owners into doing what you want.
Admins are entitled to decide what they platform and what they don’t. On top of that, the user experience of “just block 100 servers of Nazis and incels to get to the content you want to see” is complete dogshit.
This “it should all be user level” is just apologist bullshit.
Did anybody say admins aren’t entitled to block stuff? User just wanted a system to see everything and block what they didn’t want.
Fuck off with this aggressive bad-faith shit.
Run your own instance then
THREADS IS 39 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳📟📟📟📟📟📟📟📟📟
#2 represent! Getting defederated is street cred. If crybabies don’t like you you’re doing something right.
I don’t mess with fedi anymore though, besides dicking around on here. Socially I’m all about Nostr now, it’s the future of the non corpo social media, federated network architecture is simply too prone to abuse.
What’s are a good three websites that you recommend using the protocol?
Nostr will just end up like voat
That’s actually nor possible because there’s no global feed. Your network is what you make of it. I’m not a fan of voat types so I don’t interact with them online all that often.
It’s interesting, the people that tell you that they’re in the majority somehow also believe that online spaces that are left for open discussion don’t wind up the way they want them to, almost as if they’re a minority.
Or they’re just not interested in wading through far-right extremists for 3 shitty memes.
After all, if your theory about “open spaces turn into Nazis and pedos because most people are secretly Nazis and pedos” were actually true, those sites would be the biggest sites in the world, not tiny little bubbles that last 6 months.
I think “#2 represent” is referring to their membership at freespeechextremist, so they are likely looking forward to wallowing in a festering cesspool of hatred.
Nah I leave that shit to the guys at the #1 spot on the list lol. I just say what I want. I’m actually not into being angry and hateful, but I’m also not into being told what I can and cannot say.
What are you being told you cannot say that you want to say?
It’s not about what I want to say lol typical. Take a conversation about principle and imply that I want to shout slurs.
You don’t have the right to dictate to me what I can say out loud, period.
Who implied you want to shout slurs? I’m asking about the principle. What are you wanting to say that other instances are stopping you from saying? What is anyone even dictating that you cannot say out loud?
“On principle what specific words do you want to say” lol yeah OK. You need to go understand what “principle” means, by definition it ignores specific circumstances.
When what I can say is subject to someone else’s dictat, de facto they have power over me. The interesting thing about that is that the kind of people that seek that out aren’t the kind of people who wield it wisely or fairly. I avoid giving others power over me, I can’t always prevent it, but I avoid it where I can. That’s the principle we are talking about, whether I want to give someone that power, not whether I agree with them on what words should be said. And that’s what this whole speech shit is about, not words, it’s about power. Generally I would agree with those people on what words should not be said, what I don’t agree with is giving them the power to tell me or other people that we can’t say them. I used to do the compromise thing, but those people inevitably overreach and begin to try to control what ideas are allowed to be discussed, because again, it’s about power and they’re power hungry subhuman scum who just want to dominate others.
No matter where you go on fedi, it’s one type of toxic or another. Either it’s people shouting the n word, or it’s people sharing drawings (at best) of little kids, or it’s power hungry subhuman scum who just want to dominate others. It’s an architectural problem endemic to the federated network architecture. So I prefer an architecture with less discoverability but which gives the user the power to censor their own feed how they see fit. There’s no real reach on either, but at least people can have their echo chambers and nobody can lean on the architecture to silence the people they don’t like.
