   🧵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

     @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.😉

     @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.
