I really want to nip threads in the bud. Besides blocking threads.net itself, defederate from any instances that do not. This is blatantly an EEE strategy and a united front is the only way to save what have been accomplished. Here is how Indivudals can do it on mastodont as an example to follow....
@noodles@ModdedPhones Currently #threads does not make use of ActivityPub. Apparently there was not enough time to implement it in time for its scheduled release. That much said, I have put a preemptive block on threads.net so when it does go live, I won't forget.
I guess I have a warning for would-be social media influencers checking out the #fediverse. The warning is that while the fediverse may appear to be similar to #twitter, the similarities remain superficial. If you've come here in the hopes of some algorithm to assist, you will be sorely disappointed. Furthermore, most participants in the #ActivityPub realm have chosen to be here precisely because they found attempts to be influenced or manipulated tiresome and annoying.
Social media influencers will probably find more traction at Bluesky. The fediverse world is independent-minded and less likely to be swayed by an individual opinion, even regardless of celebrity status. We are more apt to question the influencer's point of view than to take it in faith.
In short, the fediverse isn't a popularity contest. It's merely a platform for exchanging ideas and learning from other people.
petition: Defederate any instances that federates with threads proactivly , add threads.net on blocklists everywhere.
