From Tim Chambers @tchambers on today's #Meta #Threads news:

Instagram Threads and the Fediverse (Part 4) >>> https://www.timothychambers.net/2023/07/03/instagram-threads-and.html

- Indieweb.social will NOT be pre-emptively taking a “Fediblock as a First Strike” position.

- Will be “Watching Like A hawk, with our fingers on the block button."

- Appears... that Threads will be launching WITHOUT Federation turned on at first...it could be 2 or 3 months.

- Support your admin... as [they] do final preparations... for what will come.

Instagram Threads and the Fediverse (Part 4)

As Meta’s new App - now officially confirmed as “Threads” - has a near-term launch date of July 6th, wanted to restate that Indieweb.social will be taking the same position as almost all mid-sized and large-sized servers and will be “Watching Like a Hawk, with our Fingers Over the Block Button.” We will NOT be pre-emptively taking a “Fediblock as a Frist Strike” position. For reasons I listed here: www.timothychambers.net/2023/06/2…

“➡️ And on this note: no matter your admin’s choice, be kind and support your admin, this next few weeks will likely be testing a lot of them. Donate to them if you haven’t. Put in a kind word along with it.” #meta #threads #project92
