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.

@tay This is already answered in the post. Server-level and personal domain blocks behave the exactly same way when it comes to fetching and delivering content.

@Gargron 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 @Gargron 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?

@darnell @Gargron On that note, I'm really unhappy that the meeting certain folks had with Facebook over the summer wasn't used to give them an ultimatum: ban these types of hate accounts or all parties present pledge not to federate.

@Gargron it's important to note that when a user does this on a server that's still federated, Meta will still be able to see their info unless they move to a different server or make their account completely undiscoverable.Even then they'll still be able to get the basic info from the profile, just not the toots.#Threads #Mastodon #Fediverse #ActivityPub

For anyone wondering how..If you go to a profile on Threads, so for example @mosseri you can click or tab the 3 dots and go with "Block domain threads.net"Screenshot:

@stux I have to assume my instance has blocked it already because when I click the three dots all I see is "Report".I'm ok with this.

Little extra notice for people using apps:The blocking of an complete instance may not be shown on all apps! ⚠️ If you use the web interface (browser) this option will always be there :cat_hug_triangle:

@stux @blogdiva Yes. @MonaApp is one app that hides this ability. So annoying to have such an important security feature of mastodon withheld by an app developer.

@LLS @blogdiva @MonaApp It could be for more reasons 😉 The action is kinda of "drastic" and once done you'll lose contact with all people from that certain instanceIt could be a choice of "to be sure" if you know what i mean, that's why it's colored red on the web UI for example

@stux @blogdiva @MonaApp Simply blocking a user requires several clicks and scrolling through a menu. “To be sure” is being served by the bucketful

@Gargron I'm less worried about interacting with Threads users than I am about Meta having influence in the fediverse. Need I remind you, they knowingly aided the initiation of a genocide in the interest of profit

@stux Well I’ve noticed you have blocked the whole Threads.net on the mstdn.social instance. Are you planning on opening that up?

Yo, @HgO ou @vanecx , c'est quoi la position de l'instance sur le cas "Threads" ? J'ai pas bien suivi tous les enjeux mais je veux surtout savoir si je bloque individuellement ou s'il va y avoir une action de votre côté :)

@Alexis_Ids La position c'est : on masque l'instance, donc les comptes sur l'instance Threads n'apparaissent pas dans les flux sauf pour les comptes suivis. Et on se garde le droit de bloquer à l'avenir. C'est la même position que pour l'instance mastodon.social. @HgO

@MikeImBack you are looking at the page on Threads itself 😉 Try and copy the full URL and paste it into the Mastodon search, it should result in the profile so you can see if it shows up or not

@stux okay i think I've figured it out. I've got 3 accounts on separate instances, and on this one and one other, nothing comes up in search. on my third, the profile comes up and I was able to block. so this instance I'm on right now and one other account's must have already blocked threads

@stux @mosseri Oh wait, you can already follow Threads accounts from Mastodon. Is it only this account for now ?
