Quick reminder that mastodon.ie will be blocking any #Threads servers.

A lot of time was spent talking about this a few months ago. We were pre-emptive blockers. Some nice enough people running servers took a wait and see approach.

Then Threads launched and hosted, and still hosts, Libs of TikTok, PragerU and Gays Against Groomers.

Treating them like any Fedi instance, that's a block.

Feel free to mute any silly geese who think this is wrong.

Here's a good example of someone who did wait and see and blocked on how Threads works in practice: https://chaos.social/@ordnung/110672632376561507

Now, mods of .ie have a shopping list of reasons to block Threads/Facebook/Meta, but the short version is, they fail at the basic standards expected on nice Fedi.

I fully expect people to spark long debates about network protocols. Again. Good for them if it makes them happy. We do not care.

Thank you for your patience. After observing the first 24 hours of Threads, we decided to block threads.net (in advance of them at some point joining the Fediverse).

There are openly, aggressively transphobic accounts on Threads.net with no visible attempt at moderation. We would defederate from any other Fediverse instance with that behaviour and no moderation, and there is no reason to treat threads.net any different.

There's a cheap and cheerful list of instance mods who are firmly against federating with Threads here: https://fedipact.online/

If shopping around for a new instance, you might double check with the listed parties before moving.

Also, some servers aren't included cus they have too many dickheads.
