I saw this site that tells you if instances have blocked threads.net yet and noticed some instances listed as fedipact with a heart instead of blocked/federated/ limited (also what does limited mean)
Instances who have signed the pact vs instances that are blocking without signing officially. https://fedipact.online/
Nevermind I found out https://fedipact.online/
Not relevant to the question, but the overuse of hearts makes it seem like they play more on feelings than on logic. Kinda feels like a cult.
I think it’s supposed to have an early internet feel, and it does, but it’s meh.
I think the heart just represents a stance of shared sympathy against Meta.
I don’t get it, is this exclusively anti-meta?
More or less, “keep ya big tech out of our pond” and all that
Limited essentially means the instance is put in quarantine. AFAIK it won’t appear on the federated timelines but users can still follow and communicate to them if they desire.
Now we need Fedipact+ that blocks all for-profit instances.
The website on veganism.social differentiates between instances that blocked Threads and instances that have signed the fedipact (the result is the same — Threads is not federated with).
Limited means that the federation is limited. For example, here’s how infosec.exchange’s admin dealt with the situation (the first paragraph): https://infosec.exchange/@jerry/111575098089860174
