ELI5 what means "blocked threads" please
Threads is an US-American, text-focused social media platform from the Meta Group (Facebook).
Threads supports the ActivityPub protocol and thus can be integrated into the Fediverse, allowing data portability, follower portability, and interoperability with all social media platforms that also support it, including Mastodon.
Many Mastodon instances aren't happy with a company like Meta entering the Fediverse and thus block Threads servers.
"Threads" is a new website from Facebook that works like Twitter. Facebook is trying to connect Threads to Lemmy and Mastodon
I hope then that all instances of the Lemmyverse block Meta from putting its damn tentacles into our decentralized network.
