The author complaining about Threads defederation from spinster was a pretty big red flag. It’s on every mainstream mastodon blocklist I’ve seen and it’s obvious he knows why. Really leaned into that “how can they discriminate against women!?” dog whistle that TERFs love to use.
Edit: Oh, it turns out he’s married to the person who runs that server. He’s also worked with Gab, used some of their code for his soapbox, and seems to have been involved with Trump’s truth social. No wonder his feelings are hurt.
Gleason is an infamous Fediverse villain.

‘omg Meta’s blocking nazi instances!’
- Gleason is a transphobic idiot.
- poast and spinster are blocked by everyone for hate speech.
Bunch of loser crybabies wondering why they’ve been excluded when everyone hates their stupid asses for being objectively awful humans.
Eat shit, TERFs. Go die in a ditch, Nazis.
I’m inclined to believe you on both points simply because I know lw blocks both of those platforms, but I don’t know much about Gleason or spinster. It’s billed as a “feminist platform”, what’s bad about it?
Transphobic hate speech. It’s TERFtown.
Of fucking course it is. TERFs really poison the water with their bullshit.
Still the nostr bridge has never caused any problems
I’m not super familiar with them but mastodon.social is currently limiting them for spam.
Shouldn’t let threads in anyways, fuck Meta
It should be left up to individual instances or user who to block. I personally think the integration is great
I disagree with your opinion of the integration with Threads, but I agree with you that it should be up to the individual instances and/or users.
Meta is a horrible company and I want nothing to do with them, but the whole point of the fediverse is that it’s decentralized. Anyone can spin up an instance if Lemmy or Mastodon and choose what other instances they federate with. If we were to somehow ban Meta’s instances, we create a pretty sketchy precedent.
For sure. Part of me would want to take a sort of principled stand and not fuck with anything meta. But if I can follow people on threads from Mastadon, that would be pretty nice, and I think that integration would lend Mastadon and federation in general some legitimacy to the normies (for lack of a better word).
Exactly, and that’s what’s so stupid about all the comments referencing “gullibles on the fediverse” or the downvoting of the commenter above.
I would love to be able to follow my favorite musical artists or my city’s account from Mastadon. That will never happen until Twitter finally dies completely and those accounts move to Threads. And yeah, who knows, maybe they’ll come to Mastadon instead, but like you said, that won’t happen unless Mastadon has legitimacy and reach amongst normies and that won’t happen without federation with a major corporate player.
I’m sorry to all the dramatic Fediverse zealots, but that’s just the truth.
Tl;Dr: The most hateful and problematic instances that exist were wisely blocked by Meta, and the admins have found a workaround that lets them see Threads posts, but doesn’t let Threads users see their posts.
They don’t even have to defederate meta? What a lucky server!
Meta is blocking Nazis… oh wait, I get it. This is a PR stunt to show the gullibles in the fediverse how much M(ark)eta has “changed.” Sure, there might be a historical shift of right wing populism everywhere because of Meta’s content regulatory practices but they’ve changed guys. C’mon.
“Threads is blocking servers on the Fediverse”
tragedies abound
Methinks Gleason protests too much
His entire brand is just platforming Nazis and complaining about the consequences…
