Where do I find a list of blocked instances?
Where do I find a list of blocked instances?
There was a post 12 days ago about preemptively defederating from Threads with this response from mod/admin @[email protected]
Someone said Threads was still on the Linked Instances column, not the Blocked Instances column. [Edited to delete mischaracterization of a statement]
Where can I find this list of Linked vs. Blocked?
I have [this] but I don't see Threads on there. [Edited to delete bad information]
If Threads is defederated, does that mean Meta/Facebook are as well?
Thanks!
Someone (later called a hacker) said Threads was still on the Linked Instances column, not the Blocked Instances column.
To be clear, I did not call that person that said that a hacker.
What I said is that when the hacker screwed with our settings due to the XSS vulnerability, they added threads to the allow list instead of the blocklist
I have this but I don’t see Threads on there.
Please edit that link out of your post. The tool you have linked to is developed by kiwifarms, and it has no place here.
You can find our list of connected and blocked instances via the "Instances" link at the bottom of every page.
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/instances
threads.net is on that list
If Threads is defederated, does that mean Meta/Facebook are as well?
No, because threads is the only meta application that is going to federate with the fediverse. If other meta services announce plans to connect to the fediverse whilst hosting hate groups, we will defederate from them too
Thanks for your rapid response!
Still learning here; I appreciate the education.

Threads has not yet added ActivityPub, so right now there is nothing to defederate from. And ActivityPub support is “a long way off” according to Meta.
We could preemptively defederate from threads.net, but we can’t even be sure what domain Meta will eventually use for ActivityPub—they could use threads.social or something for all we know. So preemptively defederating is a gesture.
So to answer your question, it doesn’t matter right now whether threads.net is in a linked or blocked column. They aren’t on the fediverse yet. Nothing is flowing from them because they have no ActivityPub support.
And ActivityPub support is “a long way off” according to Meta.
Maybe, maybe not...

FYI, this thread was posted in the Meta community for Blåhaj Lemmy, so the OP was asking about our specific defederation policy. And we do defederate from threads, because even though it's not yet federating, it will be at some point, and I saw no point in holding off
You can go to /instances to see what is blocked and federated. eg: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/instances
