Pixelfed.social has blocked threads.net

You can optionally unblock threads by navigating to Settings -> Privacy -> Blocked Domains

@dansup Unblocked. Thanks for sharing that option. It's important to keep the dream of open social web alive.

@dansup that’s interesting, I mean it probably doesn’t make much sense to have #threads integrate with #Pixelfed or is that just me?

dansup

@Kieranmansfield Not really, since threads is microblogging like Mastodon, though you can follow accounts who do post statuses with photo/video attachments, and also interact/view comments

Kieran Mansfield

@dansup For me, it doesn’t really feel like the place for threads content.

@dansup So can individual Pixelfed.social users unblock Threads, even though the instance has a block in place?

@dansup

Thanks!

I was wondering how to thwart Threads subsuming Mastodon.

Blocking the domain of an anti-democracy movement is a good start.

@dansup that's a nice feature! wish Mastodon had the option to make a domain block opt-out too. Would resolve a lot of conflict about #threads 👍

@dansup That seems like a great solution! 😮

I personally don't want it blocked, obviously not because I like or trust meta (although I do think the e.e.e fears aren't realistic, the fediverse is well established and no matter how much they extend, few here will switch to meta if they cut the federation later), but because it might be a way to talk with some acquittances that only use their platform (which is literally everyone I have contact irl, nobody I know is in the fediverse).

@dansup A very good Decision to block treads.net by default, in my humble Opinion at least. 👍 😉
