   1. Meta/Facebook has a horrific track record on human rights:

   2. Meta/Facebook is trying to join the Fediverse. We need to defederate them.

   3. If you're a server admin, please defederate Meta's domain "threads.net" (here's how on Mastodon https://fedi.tips/how-to-defederate-fediblock-a-server-on-mastodon/)

   4. If you don't run your own server, please ask your server admin to defederate "threads.net". Your admin is listed on your server website's About page.

     @feditips Isn’t this what we want? For all major social media to federate with each other using an open standard? A big company takes the first big step towards this, and now we suddenly don’t want federation with them anymore?

     @gadgetfrog

     Wanting a standard to become common doesn't mean you should federate with a server that has a terrible human rights record.

     Does this sound like someone who should be in charge of content moderation policy?

     "Facebook will continue to offer a platform to Holocaust deniers, Infowars, and other publishers of hoaxes on the assumption that they are sincere in their beliefs, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said."

     Sort of, but it won't be as effective as a server defederation.

     Users blocking a server basically just hides stuff from that server, and removes any follows you have from that server. It's more like closing your eyes to them than actually restricting them.

     You can do a "domain block" by clicking on the profile of a person from that server, then clicking ︙ on their profile, and then "block domain".

     @feditips Is there any way to block as a user?

     @stupidjim

     I'm not sure if servers can even see you've blocked them?

     There's nothing in the Masto admin interface for this, at least.

     @feditips Thanks for the answer!

     Difficult question though: would blocking that user be considered 'interacting' and so would Threads get your data when you block them?

     @robianhood @stupidjim

     The list is for server-level blocks by admins. I think Jim was asking about user-level domain blocks?

     @feditips @stupidjim, the "about" page has a list.

     On my instance a lot of Fediverse servers are either "limited" or "suspended".

     The main FediPact list is at https://fedipact.online/ but unfortunately it's not organised into any kind of categories. There are public instances and single user instances mixed together in a big list.

     (Hopefully something better will appear soon, just working on something at moment but can't promise anything yet.)
