Hello Fediverse admins, Meta's platform Threads has now switched to a new domain so it's time to add this to your defederation list:

threads.com

@homegrown @TechCrunch Suspended now, but when I go to threads.com, it is still redirected to threads.net. Can't find anything at TechCrunch regarding this as well.

@spiezmaestro @TechCrunch

Hmm... this is weird, the post is still there but it now links to a 404:

https://mstdn.social/@TechCrunch/114393612744022019

I wonder if this was under an embargo and they published too early?

The story that was there was saying they were moving to threads.com and redirecting threads.net there, plus also saying the web client was being overhauled. So, it sounds like it was part of some kind of relaunch/refresh of the platform?

@homegrown @spiezmaestro @TechCrunch@mstdn.social

It's odd: For the article, I get the 404 error, too (their website), but the #TechCrunch account on Mastodon above doesn't work! Did they come into some Thread-blocking Mastodon mill??

Edit: It was definitively *not* me blocking the instance mstdn.social, I also can't find it via search: @Mastodon @staff - did you know what happened? It's an important official media account! How can you suspend it!?

@NatureMC @homegrown I can see the TechCrunch account just fine. Seems more that mastodon.online has suspended the account.

@spiezmaestro @NatureMC

Yeah, think it might be worth asking mastodon.online why they've suspended it, as it's a genuine account. They even link to it at the bottom of the page on techcrunch.com

@homegrown @spiezmaestro I have to check first if I blocked the instance personally. I'm still searching where ...
I contacted my admins above in the edited post.
