   ℹ️ As you probably have heard, Meta (#Facebook, #Instagram, #WhatsApp) wants to join the :fediverse: #fediverse with a new project code named #Project92 and possibly named #Threads (https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/8/23754304/instagram-meta-twitter-competitor-threads-activitypub).

   There are a lot of worries that it will overtake and pollute the fediverse (incl. Mastodon). There is even a lobby started that wants to coordinate to block Meta en masse. Others say that it's a great opportunity for Mastodon and the fediverse to have more users, content and publicity.

   What about todon.eu and todon.nl I hear you ask. I like to poll the todon.* community about what to do with Meta when we have more facts, so when we can make an informed decision.

   To be continued.

     :facebook: :instagram: I pre-blocked Meta's (read #Facebook's) new project named #Threads (aka Barcelona aka #Project92). Namely threads.net and threads.instagram.com (that's a redirect to threads.net). If other URL's become available I will block those too.

     This doesn't mean we will not vote about this issue anymore. This is just to make sure Meta (read Facebook) will not catch us by surprise. When all details about Threads become available, even if that means they first need to go live, I will start the poll.
