Hey, users and thinking about Threads!

1: Users:

A: You can limit who can send you DMs/PMs! You can also limit notifications!

B: You can also block a site entirely for yourself.

See attached pics for how.

2: Instance administrators:

If you don't want to block threads.net entirely, consider these options for your userbase's safety:

A: Between "Full federation" and "Suspend" there is LIMIT, which hides content from an instance unless a user either follows the user posting it, or searches for it.

B: There is also "Reject media," which means you never cache a remote site's attachments. This de facto makes all such content sensitive ("unavailable"), requiring an additional click to view.

Content policies on our threads.net domain block showing what "Limit" and "Reject media" look like in the UI. Individual users can still follow and talk with users from threads.net, but all threads.net content will be hidden from anyone not choosing specifically to follow those same users.
The profile of Instagram head Adam Mosseri (@mosseri) as seen from Mastodon's web interface, with the "more" (three vertical dots) button pressed to bring down a menu which includes "Block domain threads.net" at the bottom. Select that to block the entire domain.
