There was a post 12 days ago about preemptively defederating from Threads with this response from mod/admin @[email protected]

Someone said Threads was still on the Linked Instances column, not the Blocked Instances column. [Edited to delete mischaracterization of a statement]

Where can I find this list of Linked vs. Blocked?

I have [this] but I don’t see Threads on there. [Edited to delete bad information]

If Threads is defederated, does that mean Meta/Facebook are as well?

Thanks!

    Threads has not yet added ActivityPub, so right now there is nothing to defederate from. And ActivityPub support is “a long way off” according to Meta.

    We could preemptively defederate from threads.net, but we can’t even be sure what domain Meta will eventually use for ActivityPub—they could use threads.social or something for all we know. So preemptively defederating is a gesture.

    So to answer your question, it doesn’t matter right now whether threads.net is in a linked or blocked column. They aren’t on the fediverse yet. Nothing is flowing from them because they have no ActivityPub support.

      Maybe, maybe not…

      FYI, this thread was posted in the Meta community for Blåhaj Lemmy, so the OP was asking about our specific defederation policy. And we do defederate from threads, because even though it’s not yet federating, it will be at some point, and I saw no point in holding off
