There have been multiple accounts created with the sole purpose of posting advertisement posts or replies containing unsolicited advertising.

Accounts which solely post advertisements, or persistently post them may be terminated.

Can someone please explain the nuance of federation that allows this?

So here I am sitting on lemmy.ml which is defederated from threads (and which I chose primarily for that reason) and I see a comment from the user above.

That comment is on a community at lemmy.world, and the user is apparently registered with their @threads username through @sh.itjust.works.

IIRC .world does NOT respect the fedipact, and I guess this means sh.itjust.works must not either, but I’m super confused by the username.

So I guess I still need to just block all the threads users I see, defederation or not?

That’s actually very funny

@octopus_ink Someone has entered their threads handle as their username.

octopus_ink OP ,

Thanks!

I know this has been solved already but for the record sh.itjust.works has also defederated from Threads

octopus_ink OP ,

Thanks for clarifying that!

That’s a good jest

ryannathans ,

Unfortunately OP has no humour

neme , (edited )

It’s a different colour, so it’s just what that user has set as their display name.

Some good trolling they did out there lol

octopus_ink OP ,

Yep… and that’s a blockin’ anyhow.

ryannathans ,
