Attached: 1 image I use any Meta products personally, but I was pleased to learn about Lights Out Meta from a friend. It's a movement to get people to log out of all Meta platforms for the week of January 19-26. I suspect Meta isn't popular with the Fedi crowd (epic understatement), but you might want to share this with your friends who are still there. It's a great opportunity to invite your friends to the Fediverse! (And to @[email protected], too.) #Meta #Facebook #Instagram #Whatsapp #Threads #SocialMedia
Seeing as Threads is testing ActivityPub integration, I thought I'd re-share this thread on how users, mods and admins (at least on Mastodon servers anyway) can block Threads traffic at both the individual user and firewall levels:

It's important to block threads.net because of Meta's lack of care for privacy, plus the traffic from many Threads users will overwhelm smaller Fediverse instances.

Attached: 1 image Here's how to #FediBlock threads.net on #Mastodon 4.1.0 and above (I'm unsure about how to do this on other #Fediverse #servers, sorry: FOR USERS: 1. Create a txt document 2. Type "threads.net" (without quote marks) 3. Save as "blocked_domains.csv" 4. On Mastodon, go to Preferences > Import and Export > Import. 5. For input type select "Domain blocking list". 6. Upload blocked_domains.csv. 7. Click "Merge" so threads.net is added to your block list. Do NOT click "Overwrite"! 8. Click "Upload"!
