The Fediverse is currently divided over whether or not to block Threads. Here are some of the things people are worried about, some opportunities that might come from it, and what we need to do to prepare.

    My uBlock Origin extension is blocking “threads.net” on his site. Perhaps he’s got some skin in the game.

    That’s a post embed.

      Right, a post embed that results in anybody visiting your site gets tracked by Meta (whether or not they have an account there).

        Thank you for your feedback. In the interest of working around this, the embed has been replaced by a video that we downloaded from the announcement post (which we were trying to get anyway) and just used that instead.
