@thekitmalone Hi there. I’m a Hoosier looking for a new server on Mastodon. One of my concerns is federating with other services like Threads. Can you tell me:
1. Does Hoosier.social federate with Threads?
2. Does Hoosier.social have any plans for federating with future proprietary services in the Fediverse (like maybe BlueSky someday)?
3. Do you federate with Mastodon.social? Your “About” page makes me think you might not.
Thanks!
@DazeEnd Hey friend! We'd love to welcome you to our community.
We're not committed to any particular approach on federation. We don't preemptively block, other than the Level 0 blocklist (overt spam and abuse).
Should any particular service or instance become a problem, source of harassment or spam, or harms our users experience, we'll evaluate them on a case by case basis as we would with any other instance.
You can find the list of currently blocked instances on our about page! But we def don't currently block Mastodon.Social or Threads.net
I took a quick look and it seems that one is masthead.social.
