Defederating Threads (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

In reviewing the Fedipact page, I noticed the message about Threads having moved to threads.com nearly a year ago. In reviewing the federation status of various Lemmy instances with the Federation Checker tool, I noticed that threads.com doesn't appear to have been added to their defederation lists. Is Threads able to federate with other Fediverse instances using its new domain, including those that have defederated from threads.net?

It doesn't matter, Threads has crippled their ActivityPub implementation so badly that I've never once seen a post from a threads user. Meta gave up on the idea, effectively.

    Yes, as long as it's not blocked, it can federate just like any other software.

    Isn't blocking one way? So you can block threads but threads will still receive your content?

    By block I meant defederate, as described in my post, rather than a user-level block. Just clarified the title; apologies for the confusion.

    Defederation ensures that content isn't received from or transferred to Threads.

    Threads doesn't work with Lemmy/Piefed. Their ActivityPub implementation only targets Mastodon.

    Also, instances that defederate from Threads but not Truth Social are a joke.
