🧵1/2 Tested for you: If I #block an #instance or people privately, I can no longer interact with them after a short wait, even though I can still see the profile. But I have tried this with #Threads and it does NOT work!
Regardless of whether I block the whole domain or just one account (test with Insta-Boss), I can still interact and comment (he probably, too?). So I will have to move to another instance with #blockThreads ▶️ https://fedipact.online/ #privacy #dataSecurity #GDPR @Gargron

  🧵 3/3 For information: I learnt that the individual "block" is not named well, it is only a filter: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moderating/#block
  So it doesn't work like I imagined a real block. I'm now curious how the import-Version of 2/3 will work.

  🧵 2/3 I understand if people love #Threads and federations with big #corporate platforms but I want to have a real *choice*. @Gargron
  I didn't leave the big platforms to get them back without any protection. I could post for followers only, yes, of course, but this takes me my reach.
  If it stayed that way (described above), I could go straight back to large platforms.
  I got a good explanation to import the #Metablock: https://mastodon.online/@12pt9@horrorhub.club/111590748485424073

    Attached: 2 images @NatureMC@mastodon.online Nope, it's very easy: 1 download Meta.txt from GitLab (img. 1): https://gitlab.com/J4YC33/metablock/-/blob/main/Meta.txt 2 change the .txt behind the filename to .csv (meta.txt > meta.csv). You can probably do that simply by changing the file name. 3 for those on Mastodon, go to your Profile Settings and import the file (image 2). The order to click things is as follows: Import and export > Import > Import type [important!] > Domain blocking list > Merge [important!]. Click UPLOAD> You're done.

  @ClimateJenny I don't want to force or persuade anyone, I only want the block works as Rochko tells us here: https://mastodon.online/@Gargron@mastodon.social/111587089594075210 - it doesn't work at the moment.
  This poses legal problems (EU privacy and digital laws) and the problem that Thread collects everything in its system for AI and other reasons. I want to be sure that it can't if I decide it. Otherwise, I don't need mastodon.online - then I could change to Insta.😉

    If for whatever reason you never wish to interact with #Threads, you can personally block it for your account. This hides all posts and profiles from Threads, prevents anyone from Threads from following you, and stops your posts from being delivered to or fetched by Threads. Simply click the "Block domain threads.net" option on any Threads profile or post you see in Mastodon.

  @NatureMC @Gargron Hmm, following and waiting for some clarity about this. There is a lot I don’t understand, but I agree with your bottom line: I found happiness by abandoning corporate social media and coming here and I would hate to see it ruined. Letting users opt in or opt out seems reasonable. If that doesn’t work, I’m going to have to migrate. Sigh.
