Fediverse @lemmy.ml octopus_ink @lemmy.ml 5 mo. ago

Can someone please explain the nuance of federation that allows this?

So here I am sitting on lemmy.ml which is defederated from threads (and which I chose primarily for that reason) and I see a comment from the user above.

That comment is on a community at lemmy.world, and the user is apparently registered with their @threads username through @sh.itjust.works.

IIRC .world does NOT respect the fedipact, and I guess this means sh.itjust.works must not either, but I'm super confused by the username.

So I guess I still need to just block all the threads users I see, defederation or not?

It's a different colour, so it's just what that user has set as their display name.
- Some good trolling they did out there lol
  
  Yep.. and that's a blockin' anyhow.
- They’re not the only one: https://lemmy.ml/search?type=Users&q=%40threads

- This is why every frontend needs an option to disable display names. This and the emoji and zalgotext.
- Thanks!
@octopus_ink Someone has entered their threads handle as their username.
- Thanks!
I know this has been solved already but for the record sh.itjust.works has also defederated from Threads
- Thanks for clarifying that!
That's a good jest
- Unfortunately OP has no humour
That's actually very funny
