If you’re a user at Packmates or Yiffit, you should know that my current stance regarding #threads is a precautionary defederation.

They’ll probably launch with federation whitelist and I doubt they wouldn’t defederate from us, but there’s too many risks and unknowns right now.

I don’t think as an admin I should limit everyone’s ability to interact with threads just because they’re a for-profit company, but there’s some huge red flags in regards to data management and potential spam.

So, if anyone was wondering my stance, I’ll place a precautionary domain block for now.

Once we have more info and/or they have started federating, I will start thinking about objective conditions that need to be fulfilled to remove the block. It won’t be based on my hatred of corporations but actual criteria in regards to guaranteeing user security and health of the fediverse.
