Threads’ roadmap for integrations with the fediverse, aka the network of decentralized apps that includes Twitter/X rival Mastodon and others, has been revealed. A new blog post by Tom Coates, the co-founder of an older decentralized app called Planetary, details the events of a December meeting at Meta’s offices where the Threads team had reached out to members of the fediverse community to get feedback about the Instagram-led project to take on X with a decentralized app that will eventually interoperate with others in the fediverse by way of the ActivityPub protocol.
And what if I don’t want to be followed from Meta?
Well, the good news is that according to this list, your instance already blocks Threads.
Is there any way for me to know if a Kbin instance also blocked Threads?
You could try to follow a user from threads, such as @mosseri. I guess that won’t be possible from instances where threads is defederated.
Well, if you’re right, Kbin looks to not have defederated Threads
Maybe you have blocked Threads yourself? I’m not sure if Kbin even supports that (it’s possible on Mastodon and Pixelfed), but I can see Mosseri’s account just fine from my end!
Oh, I tried to say that I can see and even follow this Threads account, so probably Kbin is still federated! Sorry if it wasn’t clear
just post as unlisted like you could from the start?
We held a vote
Don’t post on the internet. If you think Meta doesn’t also crawl the web the old school way like Google also does to train AI and such, you’re seriously out of touch with reality.
normie centrist take. support privacy oriented organizations and politicians. ask your instance to block threads and if they don’t, move to one that works for you and your safety. giving up and being okay with billionaires playing fuck-all with your data at no cost is playing right into their hands.
