Comment on The Fediverse is working just as intended.
Link@rentadrunk.org 1 year agoCan’t you block threads yourself once .world updates to 0.19.0?

On the other hand, interacting with Lemmy from a Twitter style timeline sucks, so I doubt we’ll see any Threads people on here.
I wouldn’t be so sure about that. I’ve seen people interacting from Mastodon here already.

That’s such a misinformative false ‘solution’ people keep peddling…
No, blocking Threads on the individual user level does not stop comments made by Threads users from showing up on federated instances, even for users who block Threads.
That means users who block Threads will still see hate/extremism and are still subject to potential harassment by toxic Threads users.

I think there are many reasons to block threads but is toxic users one of them?
There are lots of toxic users on Lemmy too. Should we be blocking lemmy.world or lemmy.ml because they have a few toxic users?

It’s false to consider the userbase on lemmy.world and Threads to be analogous. I have documented the very real problems with Threads in this comment here.
