Well, since Threads users can now see replies to their posts from Fediverse users AND they're public, I think it's as good a time as any to ask this again.

Have you blocked Threads?
This is for single users. If you're an admin that has blocked it for your entire instance, it's okay to answer as well, but I would like any users of those instances to also answer yes and for those that do not agree with that decision reply below with your thoughts, please!
Thanks!
PS. This is not a debate. I'm not looking for reasons why Threads should be blocked. Those types of replies will be completely ignored. We all know the pros and cons by now.
@[email protected] Essentially single user instance... Well, less "single user" than I expected, as there is "activity" from one account as of about 2 weeks ago.
If so, they're both me. The other is an unused account, that I keep logged in, that I made to attach to relay.fedi.buzz which helps me get content to my instance and helps my content go out. It's called Fedibuzzdummy cause it's a dummy account for Fedi buzz.
The only other account here is the guy that helped me set the instance up over a year ago and hasn't been online since that day.
@[email protected] Hey, no problem with being confused. I was just letting you know of what the situation was here. No criticism, no suggesting anyone do anything in any direction. Though honestly, I'd be interested to see if Threads might be worth considering unblocking. Or .social (unrelated).
@[email protected] Well, that really depends on you and if you feel you would be safe from harassment, if such things should occur.
I know lots of LGBTQA folks have that worry specifically. I am not familiar with Meta's moderation, but I've seen it said many times that it's not good.
Take that how you wish. I don't have such issues, so I feel safe. But I wouldn't recommend anyone who is a part of those types of communities to let their guard down.
@[email protected] mastodon.social wasn't that bad. It was just historically that size of instance, it's very difficult to have good moderation. And stuff was taking more than 90 days for some stuff.
I gave it that kind of time, because being a big instance, it meant that it was harder to justify blocking the instance.
