Meta announced that users on Threads will be able to see fediverse replies on other posts besides their own. In addition, posts that originated through the Threads API, like those created via third-party apps and scheduling services, will now be syndicated to the fediverse.
Great.
I joined the Fediverse to escape Facebook’s toxic interpretation of communities, so Facebook is coming to the Fediverse instead.
Just great…
Check https://fedipact.online for instances that have defederated threads. Good luck! :)
Fedipact needs much more exposure. It’s important to spread this message both because of Facebook’s evil practices, but also that they favor hostile users and have atrocious moderation letting a lot of nasty shit slide that shouldn’t.
Feel free to post about it in [email protected]!

Feel free to make a community or find one and link it here! :) i‘ll happily join and put in some work.
You should just join an instance that blocks threads.net. Fortunately there are many of such instances. Your current instance doesn’t seem to defederate any other instance, which is kind of suspect on its own.
SDF is a very hands-off instance. I’ve seen many trolls in bad actors on there. It also has some management issues since it can go down for long periods of time.
The only reason I have an account there and the only reason I would encourage anyone to use it is because it’s run by the SDF foundation and it will probably be around forever. Well at least as long SDF itself.
Blocking everyone and every community you see from Facebook’s new parasite social media could be good, me thinks.
@[email protected] You can just use an instance that is defederated from them, that’s the beauty of the Fediverse
According to https://lemm.ee/instances your instance already blocks them for example

can’t you selectively block entire instances? you can in Boost
It’s not just a matter of blocking Threads users.
Facebook is coming on here to slurp up data I don’t want them to have, and enriching their own Threads ecosystem with Fediverse content they haven’t lifted a finger to create.
Not to mention, when Threads users are able to fully interact in the Fediverse, do you really want that particular bunch to create noise in your communities? I don’t. There’s a reason why I avoid Facebook in all its forms.
Uh… this fediverse stuff is all on the public internet. Facebook could be slurping it up just as easily without joining at all.
How can we know?
