Parece que #threads empieza a federar
En cuanto pueda y tenga claro cómo hacerlo esta instancia no federará con nada relacionado con #meta
No escapé en su día de ellos para ahora abrirles las puertas de mi casa

Seeing as Threads is testing ActivityPub integration, I thought I'd re-share this thread on how users, mods and admins (at least on Mastodon servers anyway) can block Threads traffic at both the individual user and firewall levels:

https://mastodon.moule.world/@MOULE/110586343942660169

It's important to block threads.net because of Meta's lack of care for privacy, plus the traffic from many Threads users will overwhelm smaller Fediverse instances.

@schwedenpete wie stehen denn die Trötcafe Admins zu #MetaBlock?

AVVISO: come responsabile di sociale.network, non accetto di rendere ogni membro della community un utile idiota che alimenta con i suoi contenuti una azienda che ha sulla coscienza brexit, suprematismo bianco, propaganda russa e genocidio in Birmania. E non accetto che il colonialismo parassitario di aziende come #Meta possa filtrare i nostri contenuti per mostrare quelli che generano più bisticci e revenues, sovraccaricando i nostri server per riempire le loro tasche. #metablock #sntutorial

My personal federation policy regarding #Facebook / #Meta / #Instagram's #Threads and any Fediverse instances federating with it

Based on @Gargron's article here https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/07/what-to-know-about-threads/ Threads does not presently federate with the Fediverse though it is based on the #ActivityPub protocol. In this sense it's much like other well-known freestanding-but-unfederated AP-based instances rhyming with "blab" and "ruth". In sundry and divers manners...

When Threads does begin federation, and as other Fediverse instances federate with it, my personal policy will be to block both Threads and federating instances at the instance level. As a follower of mine, this means that you will be blocked if your instance federates.

You may wish to explore migration options to instances which have pledged to #FediblockMeta / #Metablock Threads preemptively.

(Toot.cat is one such instance.)

I will reverse the block if the instance itself blocks Threads, as I become aware of this. (I anticipate significant frictions here. Preemptive blocks are strongly encouraged to avoid any possible misunderstanding and disruption.)

I also strongly encourage other individual Fediverse members to adopt a similar personal policy.

As the Threads issue develops ...

I'll be seeking out, or maintaining myself, a canonical, or even reasonably complete, listing of Fediverse instances which are federating with #threads

And Imma start some personal blocking Real Soon Now.

(And yes, if you're amongst my followers on #MastodonSocial or other instances I'm aware are federating with Meta, you're going to be #Metablock'ed shortly.)

I'll post further updates as replies to this toot.

(Redrafted from an earlier toot Because Reasons.)

Is it really necessary to block all meta domains, isn’t threads.net suffisant ?

Good morning to the #Fediverse and the community of Sociale.network.

I'm planning to add to our blocklist all the IP and subnets registered by AS32934 - AS63293 - AS34825 - AS54115 - AS149642 -> Facebook

See

https://whois.ipip.net/search/FACEBOOK

This will preserve our community from the abusive corporate policies of a company who's monetizing our digital interactions with others, even if this means profiling users and monetizing hate speech fostering violence IRL.

#sntutorial #metablock

Is there a handy list of medium to large Mastodon instances that won't federate with Meta/Threads.net?

I know about https://fedipact.online/, but that looks to be a huge list of emails for tiny instances. I'd like to be on an instance with at least a few thousand users.

#metablock

On my side I signed https://fedipact.online/ because:

- Our community won't cooperate with #Meta, an evil company monetizing hate speech, used as an effective tool for UK nationalism, US white supremacism, Russian propaganda and genocide in Burma

- It's my duty to protect us against the abuses of a huge and poorly moderated community where cyber bullying and verbal violence are tolerated and monetized

- We won't serve corporate interests with our servers, time and money

#metablock #sntutorial

#metablock: I won't cut out the community served by @Gargron even if he will keep a federation with #Meta because:

I respect other admins' freedom of choice

I won't punish thousands because of the choices of few

I am not the moral judge of other admins and communities

I want to preserve as much as possible the integrity of fediverse

Defederation is a last resource for generalised and systematic sociopathic behaviours of hostile communities with non-cooperative admins. Just like #Meta.
