"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 went ahead and just deleted Instagram and Threads, too. I couldn’t think of a good enough reason to wait. Now I need to muster up the courage to delete Facebook. I’ve done it twice before.

Among the surprising blocks:
- tech.lgbt and bark.lgbt (not all LGBT-related instances are blocked, toot.lgbt, blahaj.zone, lgbtqia.space are not blocked for example), but those two specifically are.
- mstdn.jp I can understand why, but that’s a pretty big instance. Threads blocked very few big instances. This is one of them.
- mostr.pub momostr.pink (and a few other nostr bridges)
Among the surprising non-blocked:
- cyberpunk.lol and the vast majority of servers from the fedipact

RE: infosec.town/notes/9v14rvs8j7kjk2yh
I see mostly two reasons to be blocked by Threads. Nazis and nudity.
If you’re not a nazi and your instance was blocked, it was probably the nudity.
#fediverse #threads #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.
www.threads.net/moderated_servers
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

Well I am very rarely on it I decided to Federate my #threads account. Just to see how it will be. I don't like that it is just a "broadcast" out to the #Fediverse and not something i can see the Fediverse in. So i know I have one #Mastodon follower there (me) but from my threads account i cannot see it. They are claiming it is coming soon. We will see.
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.
