FediPact is a noble endeavour, but one borne out of the lack of actionable improvements.

Where is the FediModPact of people dedicated to improving platform safety services and tools for each fediverse platform?

It's easy to say you're blocking threads, the real challenge is organizing and writing features that improve moderation + safety.

I've only seen a few people actually do this, it does make you wonder...

@dansup i mean, we already defederate from servers that allow illegal or repulsive content, or who otherwise refuse to moderate. The fedipact is more of a preemptive strike, given that meta has historically shown themselves to be uninterested in moderating things like anti-lgbtq content and racism.

@dansup I don't think it's necessarily easy to say you're blocking Threads. Some portion of your fedi community is going to disagree with that decision, if your server serves more than a handful of people. And beyond that, clearly most of our friends and family also disagree, otherwise they wouldn't be using Facebook products. Blocking Threads is a brave and difficult stance that only sounds popular in a weird bubble.

It's also not easy to organize a community, no matter your stance on Threads.

@dansup this is exactly where IFTAS is working. Moderator tools, training, documentation and community.
