We have 2-3 months to compile a Threads block list - LemmyWorld

It is expected to be 2-3 months before Threads is expected to be ready to federate (see link). There will, inevitably, be five different reactions from instances: 1. Federate regardless (mostly the toxic instances everyone else blocks) 2. Federate with extreme caution and good preparation (some instances with the resources and remit from their users) 3. Defederate (wait and see) 4. Defederate with the intention of staying defederated 5. Defederate with all Threads-federated instances too It’s all good. Instances should do what works best for them and people should make their home with the instances that have the moderation policies they want. In the interests of instances which choose options 2 or 3, perhaps we could start to build a pre-emptive block list for known bad actors on Threads? I’m not on it but I think a fair few people are? And there are various commentaries which name some of the obvious offenders.

5 is an absolutely horrible idea.
I tend to agree but there may be some small and especially vulnerable communities which need the privacy. I don’t know but I’m happy as long as everyone gets to have an instance which suits them.
The whole point of this is that I want my instance to federate with threads. I want to be able to interact with my friends on there from the safety of the fediverse. I don’t want to have Mastodon for Mastodon and Mastodon for Threads. I want Mastodon for the Fediverse.
I want my instance to federate too. But I respect that other people want differently and that’s fine. We don’t need to tear each other apart.
But that’s exactly what option 5 would do, tear each other apart.
Not unless they send over spies to badmouth us?
… what? How will defederating help that?
