This was posted on mastodon.world, also ran by Ruud [email protected] - Update regarding Meta/Threads:
We hear that the Threads app is coming July 6th. It will at first not support ActivityPub, so it can’t talk to Mastodon yet. That will be added later.
We’re very much in agreement with @tchambers , see timothychambers.net/…/instagram-threads-and.html As he said: ““Watching Like A hawk, with our fingers on the block button.” We will NOT be pre-emptively taking a “Fediblock as a Frist Strike” position.”

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.
