Well, since Threads users can now see replies to their posts from Fediverse users AND they’re public, I think it’s as good a time as any to ask this again.

Have you blocked Threads?

This is for single users. If you’re an admin that has blocked it for your entire instance, it’s okay to answer as well, but I would like any users of those instances to also answer yes and for those that do not agree with that decision reply below with your thoughts, please!

Thanks!

PS. This is not a debate. I’m not looking for reasons why Threads should be blocked. Those types of replies will be completely ignored. We all know the pros and cons by now.

    @Gullible it cannot be done. They can only get anything that’s already public on your profile, nothing more. Emails and IP addresses aren’t shared, and no advertising cookies are ever grabbed from Fediverse that I’ve ever seen.

    They *can* allow companies to make accounts and make posts that are essentially ads, but it cannot be targeted across AP and companies can already do that if they wish on Mastodon.

    Your profile name, profile pic, bio, and public posts are what they can get from AP.
