Another walled garden is opening up to the new social web.

The company announced on Monday that it is beginning to switch its user accounts to ActivityPub, which means that everyone curating stuff on Flipboard is now doing so in a way that apps like Mastodon can see and interact with.

    I don’t agree with this “”“gatekeeping”“” ideology for the Fediverse.

    Who’s to decide if the threads user are a good addition or not ?

    Can’t we just give them a chance and then decide if we want to defederate. It feels like pre-emptive moderation.

    It’s rejecting people just because they are using Threads instead of attempting to filter the bad users of Threads through moderation. Also even if you try to keep these bad users out nothing prevents them to create an account on your instance and keep on bring a nuisance. The only solution to these users is moderation with defederation being the ultimate moderation tool.

    Let’s give new users a chance to fit in the Fediverse and defederate only if the issue arises but not before that.
