    Is anyone maintaining a list of instances that have defederated Threads? I want nothing to do with them and am completely willing to hop to a different home if necessary to be sure of blocking them.

      No instances have defederated, because no issuances have federated. Threads does not use activitypub, and is not a federated platform.

      They’ve said they will in the future, but these people also say your privacy is safe and that they are serious about fighting disinformation and climate change.

      Threads is not federated. It may never be. Anyone is free to plan preemptive action, but I’d like to squash this misunderstanding so everyone knows: none of your current instances are federated with Meta.

        And I want to squash this misunderstanding so everyone knows: I want my instance to preemptively defederate. If they aren’t willing to take this obvious step to protect users from Threads turning on federation without warning in the middle of the night, I’m moving to an instance that will.
