To keep everyone's Home feeds lively,
it is important to Boost (repost) the posts of others.

So, when you see a post that you like, if you want your followers to see it in their Home timelines as well,

Tiny Mastodon Tip About Blocking Threads/Meta :facebook::nes_fire:

With this week's news
about Meta starting to test Threads integration with ActivityPub (the protocol that makes the Fediverse interconnected): https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/13/meta-starts-testing-threads-integration-with-activitypub/

Many people, like myself,
might feel uneasy about this. There are many reasons to be:

Whether it is due to Meta's (mal)practices when it comes to moderation, disinformation, politics, or problematic privacy, to say the least, your discomfort with this is very valid :valid:

On Mastodon,
know that you can pre-block a whole domain at the account level ⛔️

Now, this is not a complete solution and might not prevent all of your data from passing through, but it should prevent Threads accounts on these instances from following you and seeing most of your posts, and you theirs.

HOW TO ❓

1. On desktop, go to "Preferences" > "Import and export"

2. On your computer, create a text file and copy the 2 following lines in it:

threads.instagram.com
threads.net

3. Change the ".txt" extension of this file to ".csv"

4. Go back to Mastodon's Preferences and go to the "Import" section in the left side menu.

5. There, for "Import type" select "Domain blocking list"

5.1. On the right, make sure to select "Merge" and not Overwrite in order to keep your previously blocked Domains, if you had any.

5.2. In "Data" on the left, click on "Browse" and select the ".csv" file you just wrote.

5.3. Click "UPLOAD" at the bottom.

6. You will then see a message to confirm. Click "CONFIRM" :blocky_white_cursor:

7. Done! And good riddance! :blobcatrainbow:​​✨
