What’s the DNS I need to block to never inadvertently get sent to anything Threads related?

I thought Threads joining the fediverse was a GOOD thing, and even the Mastodon Org seems cool with this. More users = better.

Wanting to block Threads does nothing to Meta, and only hurts users. It would be like blocking all email from Gmail because you know they read your messages to generate targeted ads. You wouldn't be teaching Google a lesson, just hindering interoperability between people.

There needs to be a Mozilla-like foundation that builds a competitive product platform for Fediverse that looks slick, is free of bugs, and matches any additional features that Threads might come up with

I say we should just let Threads fail through its own doing.

The EEE argument is a red herring at the moment. Sure, in the future, Meta and others could get clever in ways we can't imagine right now, but currently it's a "sky is falling" kind of threat. As it currently stands, the path from Threads launching to "Meta killing the fediverse" has all the logical progression as the Underpants Gnomes.

Same thing we do about reddit. They are free to do their own thing in their own corner as long as they don't bring us into it.

I welcome the extra content and massive expansion of the fediverse! Having millions of users has its advantages. Smaller communities will still exist.

Don't use it.
