For those who are concerned about harassment, stalking, and data harvesting threats from Threads ... if you're on an instance that doesn't block Threads, the risks just increased substantially.

How to block Threads on Mastodon - and a reminder that blocking on the fediverse only provides limited protections has instructions on how to block Threads, with screenshots -- although moving to an instance that does block Threads gives more protection. Here's a post with information about how to reduce the risks.

And @Gargron @mosseri and everybody else who does see the connection with Threads as a good thing, please understand that some people are in fact at risk here. It would be great to. have official statements on this both from Mastodon and Threads for how people who do feel they're at risk can protect themselves. Until that happens, please share information from me or (if these links aren't to your taste) others.
