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.

@Crackhappy unfortunately, being on Lemmy, I'm not sure that you could. I didn't think about Lemmy when creating this because I was not aware that Mbin makes posts based on hashtags. I'm very unknowledgeable about that part of Fedi.
I think the only way you could, as a Lemmy user, would be to migrate or sign up on a different instance that blocks it for you.️

I haven’t seen any threads posts, but if one pollutes my feed then I will absolutely block it. Short form and vertical videos suck.

@Etterra well...threads is a microblogging platform like Mastodon or X. While there could be videos like that there, it's not the main feature of the platform like TikTok or Youtube Shorts.

@BeAware Nah, maybe some of my friends who are too hesitant to use Mastodon will use Threads, so I’ll be able to interact with them in my own space.
(Off topic: how’d you post to mastodon and lemmy at the same time? )

@sandwich well...I didn't...at least not on purpose.
Apparently Mbin, or at least fedia.io, uses hashtags to make posts in communities.
I added the hashtags and it went without my knowledge or intention.️

@BeAware Ohh that’s interesting! I might check out Mbin. Just setup a PieFed account as well.

@sandwich it's pretty neat!
The original creator seems like a decent enough person and from my point of view, looks like he's doing it in a very admirable way by not "holding the keys to the castle" for lack of a better term. Multiple people have merge control for PRs and such. It's pretty cool.
We had an unfortunate misunderstanding a few weeks ago, but I'd hope that we have corrected that and can leave it in the past and move on.

@Melissabeartrix thanks for answering, friend.

@BeAware I don't block Threads as a user but I'd like to. Anyone know the best way to do it on a user level? Do I need to if my instance already blocks Threads?

@matt you do not need to, if your instance already blocks them. I noted that if your instance blocks it, just answer yes because you can't control it.
In fact, in theory, an instance block is stronger than a user block. I've seen a user block a domain and people from that domain in the replies asking how they could see the comment if they were blocked.
When a user blocks a domain through the mastodon UI, Its functionally just a mute.
If you ever need to do a domain block for any reason, though, you go to a user's profile from that domain and hit the "..." Drop down menu, then hit "block this domain".

i specifically chose my instance because it has them defederated.

Is there an instance I can sign up to that hasn’t blocked it?

@VirtualOdour depends, are you looking for a Mastodon instance?

@BeAware Essentially single user instance... Well, less "single user" than I expected, as there is "activity" from one account as of about 2 weeks ago.

BeAware :fediverse:replied to Jigme Datse last edited by [email protected]
@jigmedatse me?
If so, they're both me. The other is an unused account, that I keep logged in, that I made to attach to relay.fedi.buzz which helps me get content to my instance and helps my content go out. It's called Fedibuzzdummy cause it's a dummy account for Fedi buzz.
The only other account here is the guy that helped me set the instance up over a year ago and hasn't been online since that day.

@BeAware Oh, I meant my instance is basically a single user instance. And blocked at the instance level.
There *may* be reason to reverse that, but it was based on activity that hit my instance, not just political.

@jigmedatse ohhh...I was SO confused
Sorry.️
You do you. Block whoever you wish for whatever reason you wish. It's not my place to tell anyone who to block and not block.
I'm just curious about the stats.️

@BeAware Hey, no problem with being confused. I was just letting you know of what the situation was here. No criticism, no suggesting anyone do anything in any direction. Though honestly, I'd be interested to see if Threads might be worth considering unblocking. Or .social (unrelated).
