We have 2-3 months to compile a Threads block list
With the upcoming #meta #Project92 Fediverse service, there has been a, well, robust discussion of how to avoid threats looming. Those advocating mass-preemptive defederation make three cases for it. ➡️ To avoid data mining … However, defederation does virtually zero to avoid any big tech entity scr...
It is expected to be 2-3 months before Threads is ready to federate (see link). There will, inevitably, be five different reactions from instances:
-
Federate regardless (mostly the toxic instances everyone else blocks)
-
Federate with extreme caution and good preparation (some instances with the resources and remit from their users)
-
Defederate (wait and see)
-
Defederate with the intention of staying defederated
-
Defederate with all Threads-federated instances too
It's all good. Instances should do what works best for them and people should make their home with the instances that have the moderation policies they want.
In the interests of instances which choose options 2 or 3, perhaps we could start to build a pre-emptive block list for known bad actors on Threads?
I'm not on it but I think a fair few people are? And there are various commentaries which name some of the obvious offenders.

I don't get this platform. I'm about to just give up on social media altogether.
I just want to know about new games and whatever else that interests me. Why's that so hard.
That’s adulthood. Sorry. You gotta start paying attention to how the sausage gets made, or you may wind up in the sausage.

Then only subscribe to communities related to your interests. This is what I do and I avoid pretty much all the irrelevant stuff that I don't want to see.
Meta-discussion about the Fediverse will happen in !fediverse@lemmy.world since that's what this community is about.
Just ignore this post then lmao it's not gonna affect your use case
You really don't need to care about whatever's happening with Threads as a casual user
You do need to care as a casual about data miners that would love to sell your info to health insurance companies and crackhead conspiracy theorists.
