"I had a hard time finding any posts discussing the Super Bowl" - I'm both an #NFL and #stats fan, and might've posted had something caught my attention in the #SuperBowl - this year nothing did (didn't help that my team wasn't in it ;-) ). Last year in the #playoffs I wrote about going for it on 4th down, as that was topical with the #DetroitLions at the time (who were going for it on 4th a lot!). Co-incidentally, I had seen a thread about this from someone I follow on #ThreadsApp!

I was eagerly waiting for this not gonna lie. We already had a list of servers that blocks threads since a long time ago, but much more interesting, we now have the list of servers that META wants to block.

This is an incredible ressource for admins if they want to take this as inspiration for their own blocklists. It’s a very long list.

Meta also has an appeal form, which is something fediverse admins should think a little bit more about.

Now, for the easiest way to get blocked by Meta real quick. It is, without surprise, to post unflagged porn and nudity!

Some people have asked me, so I figured I would publicly post it here, yes I have #Threads and check it from time to time. I have a few friends that use it. It is here @william.mccormick I rarely post there. (Well I rarely post anywhere lately) I do have it set to post to the #Fediverse but I do not like that it is a "broadcast" setup. So I will not get notified about this post or anything that comes from the Fediverse. I only follow 2 people from #ThreadsApp me and @potus

Finally caught up on @mike’s #dotsocial podcast episode with @Gargron on the state of the #fediverse.

Loved this quote from Mike:
“You’ve managed to achieve a paradigm shift in how social media works that is inescapable.”

Worth a listen if you haven’t yet!

I checked out #threadsapp for a few minutes. It's basically Twitter. My suggested feed looked nice enough but I didn't see it filling a niche I haven't filled here. Except people I know IRL are on it. And I'm never gonna be the one to convince them to leave where it's easy to be. I've learned that lesson a million times over the years.
I do hope it federates eventually and I can connect to them. But it's already uninstalled.
Meantime, I left a bio with my address here.
