4·9 months agoI mean… I’m not the OP but I don’t think people against meta/threads fear their idiot userbase. We just don’t want to deal with them. At all. Anywhere.
Or we’d have joined threads.
I don’t think I was confusing the defed from blocking, I was confused about what you meant. Thanks for the clarification.
I am given to understand that I will still see the comments from threads users on lemmy. Just not the posts from threads.
Like I said, I don’t care what others do. But for me the correct answer is to not interact with users from that platform.
When I start seeing threads users in .world lemmy comment sections I will block .world.
My pleasure. TMYK!
I’m not comfortable with assuming the dregs of Facebook will leave Lemmy alone. I’ll stick to instances that have defederated and I’ll actively block instances that don’t.
I’m not out here trying to stop you from being on federated instances or anyone else. But I will not personally support instances that allow that monster into the ecosystem.
Fair. But I’m on lemmy for discussion. I don’t want threads’ bobbleheaded userbase fucking up every discussion thread on lemmy. So I will stay on instances that have de-federated that shithole and urge other instances to do the same.
Not quite the same result. Blocking the instance stops you seeing their posts, but not the comments coming from their users.
As a Montreal-born poutine-sucking monster I agree.
But it is still fun to say otherwise.
[Edit: This one is helpful for understanding why I was confused. As a quebecer who lived in alberta for many years it always struck me as odd that the local cheese factory said they could not sell us curd because it was illegal. And the timeline of me learning that is right around when this law was changed.

I’m always happy to admit when I’m wrong and this time I am.
It is not the lack of pasteurization that makes Quebec cheese curds problematic in Alberta. It is the fact that it was not held for the 60 days required by their food safety laws.
Poutine consists of Fries, Gravy, and Raw Curd Cheese. Nothing else.
This is stew.
Note: I don’t really believe this is true, but it is a fun devil’s advocate position to take.
It turns out I was wrong. The problem with Quebec curd cheese outside of Quebec is not that it is un pasteurized. It is that it does not have a holding period long enough to meet the food safety regs.
It is unpasteurized “raw” cheese. Which is why it is different. It is actually illegal to sell in many places due to not having been pasteurized.
I recently made my first shakshuka as well! So damn tasty.
People said the exact same thing about reddit being only good for technology enthusiasts and porn in the early days.
In my experience that is just how it goes on the internet. Nerds, furries, and porn collectors, are the early adopters for most places. The normies follow along years later.
