    What an infuriating UI design, red for federated and green for blocked?

    Either way, thanks for a useful link since my instance admin blocked Threads for whatever reason and I needed to find a new one. Cheers!

      It’s because the dev behind the website pushes his anti-threads agenda onto you.

      Red means bad.

        I mean, what do you expect from Fedipact? The dev doesn’t push anything onto you, you willingly visit a list that got created for the very purpose of going against Threads. There is no hidden agenda.

          The standard is green for yes, red for no.

          The dev chose to flip this, consciously.

          For “willingly visiting the site”, you can apply that to anything on the internet, don’t see a point there.

              Yeah that’s the whole point.

              Yes is something non standard, it’s a pushed opinion making something seem bad even though everyone should make their own opinion.
