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.
If there's no such thing as authentication when you view posts, you have no privacy anyway. Everything you post online can be seen by anyone and archived anytime. It's not like you have privacy when you post now.
Doesn't authenticated fetch kinda fix that? If users have the option to make their account private except to logged in other users, and if the server enables authenticated fetch to reject access from blocked / de-federated servers, then only logged in users from servers the server grants access to federate with will be able to view the content. That seems like some useful measure of privacy at least.
