Threads seems to be beginning to test ActivityPub federation, and since Kbin can be used for microblogging, this affects kbin.social. What are your thoughts on federating or defederating with them?

I already preemptivelly defederated from them a long time ago.

Hey lemmy user here

Does kbin have user level defederation or something

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

We have user level domain blocking, so if you block an instance it's a bit like defederation.

Afaik you can still sometimes see their users on other instances but you don't see any of the blocked instance's own content anywhere.

I don't think so, only if you spin up your own instance. I myself have my own instance of Mastodon where I defederated Threads.

I am not super familiar with it, but my understanding is that Kbin lets users block something by domain.

So, my understanding is that yes individual users could theoretically block Threads content.

If I am wrong, somebody please correct me!

I don't think full instance blocking is available yet, just users and specific communities

There is a setting to block a server, but it isn't fully functional as I still get some posts from those servers.
