@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org @fediversenews@venera.social Is it possible to block the threads.net domain, but not all fedi accounts that are linked to threads? If there is a way to do that, I'd like to know it myself.

@kotaro @fediversenews What do you mean by “linked to threads”?
petrescatraian@libranet.de 8 months ago
@atomicpoet he's probably referring to a whitelist kind of situation where you can only keep following a few accounts, while blocking the rest of Threads.

@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org @fediversenews@venera.social Because the current threads are not yet directly participating in the fediverse, right?
All the news is saying is that it is now possible to mirror posts on the threads account to the mastodon and misskey accounts.

@kotaro @fediversenews Actually, Threads is currently federating but it’s one way. We can see their posts, but they can’t see ours yet.
Regardless, I think it’s possible to limit federation on Mastodon, which in a way would do what you’re asking for.
However, this is speculation. I don’t use Mastodon.

On Mastodon, if you server block threads, you will not see any content from threads.net, including any boosts from those who are on the fedi of posts from threads.net. You will, however, see anything from instances that do federate with threads.net.
Stated another way, hypothetically, if we follow each other and you block the threads server, you will see me and I will see you but you won’t see any threads content that I boost.

@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org @fediversenews@venera.social I am using Firefish, which you used to support, but I cannot read the posts on the threads.net account from me.
