Isn't blocking one way? So you can block threads but threads will still receive your content?
By block I meant defederate, as described in my post, rather than a user-level block. Just clarified the title; apologies for the confusion.
Defederation ensures that content isn't received from or transferred to Threads.
That depends on whether the software allows it; Mastodon uses the AUTHORIZED_FETCH variable for this. If it's active, blocked instances can no longer fetch posts via AP.
