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.

    @BeAware@social.beaware.live I don’t block threads on my instance. I limit them because I think as they build out more integration, spammers will begin posting from there, given that it will take longer to remove them on Threads than on a Mastodon server. I have no plans to ever block Threads.

    But, I have unlimited many Threads accounts individually, as exceptions, that I know are real and safe, and will do so on request.

      @Jerry@hear-me.social that makes sense. I’m on my own here, as you know, so I don’t feel I have much risk here.

      I can definitely understand being concerned for their moderation practices though. That’s been one of the most wide concerns.
