Ugh, we’re federated with threads? There goes the neighborhood
What the actual fuck?
Like mastondon.world admin said, you can always block the threads.net at user level.
The instance itself will wait and see.
We won’t pre-emptively defederate from Threads. Users can themselves decide to block threads. (If we were to defederate, users can’t anymore decide to un-block themselves.)
We will keep a close eye on all developments with Threads joining the Fediverse, and when we see trouble, we might reconsider this statement.
Edit: mastodon.world not mastodon.social
“Wait and see” for what though? Meta is already a known bad actor in social media. Why give them the benefit of the doubt?
Wait a see what they actually do. Mad idea, I know.
Zuckerberg: I don’t know why. Zuckerberg: They “trust me” Zuckerberg: Dumb fucks
Zuckerberg requesting and being given the your intimate personal information, isn’t really the same as s Zuckerberg plan to make information on a Meta social network readable from another social network, but sure. I’m not saying Meta is trustworthy, I’m saying let’s see what they do. Having a way for people to interact with people on Threads, without having to join Threads could be quite useful.

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!
Maybe they Chinese? In Chinese stock markets red is up green down.
No. Federated = bad, thus it is red.
In the short run it probably doesn’t matter. However Threads is do big that it could theoretically crush us
