(2/n) #BlockMeta

...are #Meta.

One user, @MOULE, has been very helpful in providing a list of the #Meta domains known so far and a simple procedure to import the #MetaBlockList into your #Mastodon account on a computer as a *USER*.

As there are several posts and I think images are sometimes more helpful, and added a step. I have re-written his method, that I have just used myself.

Here's how to #fediblock #Meta in your account:

1) Download the current list of known #Meta domains from...

...https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lipuAfIC9Q22VClDbTgI_7KZ_aajVZDm/view?usp=sharing

2) On Mastodon, go to Preferences > Import and Export > EXPORT.

There, save all your current list and request an archive of your content(!).

(This is important, if you ever need to restore the current state.)

3) On Mastodon, go to Preferences > Import and Export > Import.

4). For input type select "Domain blocking list".

(Make sure you have that selected and do not overwrite...

...something else!)

5). Upload blocked_domains.csv.

6) Click "Merge" so threads.net is added to your block list. Do NOT click "Overwrite"!

7). Click "Upload"!

8) I'd suggest to repeat this process at least once a weak, better daily for the next couple of weeks until things pan out with #meta

Good luck!

Also, there are serious reasons...

I think I found the domain name of #threads, #Meta's new #Fedi-enabled service, also codenamed #Project92, #P92, and #Barcelona.

URL: https://threads.net
IPv4: 157.240.22.63
IPv6: 2a03:2880:f231:c5:face:b00c:0:43fe (note "face:b00c")

Looking up threads.net returns #Instagram's logo, the title "Barcelona" and "this page isn't available" (probably because it's not open yet).

I'd recommend every #MastoAdmin #FediAdmin in the #FediPact to #FediBlock them before they go live on the #Fediverse!

This insightful article should be read by every regular user of any #Fediverse platform.

"How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the #Fediverse)"

In his blog, he shows from his own experience how #Google and #Micosoft first embraced new FOSS protocols (like #ActivityPub), then extended it, finally deserted it leaving it languishing in a niche.

Also: #META's intentions in a leaked e-mail.
