What steps did you take to preemptively block it? I want nothing to do with Threads either but am a bit confused on what I should be doing. Is there a list of instances who defederated from threads or something?
I run my own instance so I simply added a block in the instance configuration. If I had to hazard a guess, I would say the folks at lemmy.world have most likely done the same.
No need to guess, just look at https://lemmy.world/instances
If anything was being blocked you would see it there. AFAIK lemmy.world does not normally block/defederate anyone as a standard policy (including threads.net).
If you want an example on the other end of the spectrum go see https://beehaw.org/instances they are currently at 405 instances being blocked including threads.net.
Ah thanks for letting me know about that. I thought the instances view was only for admins.
I don't think any Lemmy instance is going to have to block Threads.
Mostly because Lemmy doesn't support microblogging. Kbin does. And the big one is Mastodon.
All because ActivityPub is not a monolith, different services use different parts of the standard.
I've preemptively blocked threads on my Mastodon instance as well.
