I find it interesting that beta testing accounts on Flipboard & Threads are in the top three.

If for whatever reason you never wish to interact with #Threads, you can personally block it for your account. This hides all posts and profiles from Threads, prevents anyone from Threads from following you, and stops your posts from being delivered to or fetched by Threads. Simply click the "Block domain threads.net" option on any Threads profile or post you see in Mastodon.

Yeah, I do not plan to block #Threads, as I am extending the same policy toward them that I do other instances (in essence, I am treating them like any other instance).

With Threads & #Flipboard joining the #Fediverse en masse soon, I am excited for what 2024 has in store!

Also, it should make it easier to convince businesses & politicians who use #WordPress to install the #ActivityPub plugin so they can interact with the Fediverse without needing to join another site.

@darnell What will you be doing about extreme explicit hate content on the platform, like LibsOfTiktok, Gays Against Groomers, etc.? I'm asking because the normal way to deal with an instance that refuses to ban accounts like that seems to be defederation, no?

This is such a naive take on this situation.

@Oozenet Yeah because giving individual users control is a naive take on the situation…

@fishcharlie @Oozenet The problem lies with the fact that it doesn't actually give users control. Let's say I block threads, but you don't. Then you retoot something I posted, which is then interacted with by someone on threads. All of a sudden, my posts are, according to Meta's OWN terms of service, subject to their terms and free for them to harvest. In reality, one would have to block every single person who doesn't block threads for this to be effective.
