We have 2-3 months to compile a Threads block list (www.timothychambers.net)

It is expected to be 2-3 months before Threads is ready to federate (see link). There will, inevitably, be five different reactions from instances:

Federate regardless (mostly the toxic instances everyone else blocks)
Federate with extreme caution and good preparation (some instances with the resources and remit from their users)
Defederate (wait and see)
Defederate with the intention of staying defederated
Defederate with all Threads-federated instances too

It's all good. Instances should do what works best for them and people should make their home with the instances that have the moderation policies they want.

In the interests of instances which choose options 2 or 3, perhaps we could start to build a pre-emptive block list for known bad actors on Threads?

I'm not on it but I think a fair few people are? And there are various commentaries which name some of the obvious offenders.

CMV: The people who want to receive data from Threads should just...make a freaking Threads account. The whole argument to connect with them at all is weird. It's like recording a Disney movie to your DVR box and setting up streaming from your smart TV to your tablet so you can now enjoy the movie you recorded in bed....when you could've just downloaded the freaking Disney+ app.

It's also (somehow) like when you're already in shorts and a t-shirt but still a little warm and someone else wants to turn the A/C off cause they're cold. They can put on more clothes and be totally comfy, I cannot (politely) take any more clothes off.

Accessing threads from mastodon is significantly more private than downloading the official app.
