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.

@jigmedatse Well, that really depends on you and if you feel you would be safe from harassment, if such things should occur.
I know lots of LGBTQA folks have that worry specifically. I am not familiar with Meta's moderation, but I've seen it said many times that it's not good.
Take that how you wish. I don't have such issues, so I feel safe. But I wouldn't recommend anyone who is a part of those types of communities to let their guard down.

@BeAware Yeah, I get enough already with instances that shouldn't really end up being sources of that kind of hate...

@BeAware mastodon.social wasn't *that* bad. It was just historically that size of instance, it's *very* difficult to have good moderation. And stuff was taking more than 90 days for some stuff.
I gave it that kind of time, because being a big instance, it meant that it was harder to justify blocking the instance.

@jigmedatse yeah, I totally understand that. I'm a bit worried myself of being blocked by them.
I've already been blocked by Eugen personally for criticizing his development strategy and not focusing on much needed moderation tools...
I have almost 300 friends there so I would be making a lot of noise if it happened.

@BeAware It wasn't really even close to that. But one I know and really miss seeing in *this* timeline kind of sucks. But another instance, I got blocked, because... Well I criticized the blind use of block lists, and tried to discuss what can be problematic about that.
That instance has had other cases where blocks have been personal, and knocking connections blindly.

@jigmedatse oof. Yeah, I was on Oliphant's Tier 3 blocklist before it got decommissioned with the reason of "Ableist" which is obviously bullshit. I have ADHD and i'm slightly autistic. There's no ableist in me.
They put me on there because I sometimes post AI art.
Which is all fine and dandy, but don't lie!️

@BeAware I don’t block threads, in fact the opposite, I’ve actively been encouraging users that I know and would like to connect with to federate their threads account.

@paulk_ sweet! I'm not on threads so I can only sit here and reply to the ones that do.️
Thanks for your insight, friend.

@BeAware 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 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.
