How do I know if my ~~insurance~~ instance blocked threads

Call GEICO.

"hi, yes, Geico? Are Zuckerberg-defenders in my internet forums today? If so, I'd like to extend my anti-wanker policies"

There should be a phone number on the back of your card

Go to lemmy.world/instances and scroll down to "Blocked instances". If "threads.net" doesn't show up in that list then they haven't blocked them.

Thanks for sharing this.

Perhaps I will be able to find a more-tolerant instance in the 'blocked instances' should the need arise.

Well, they aren't blocking it now.

The instance I use -- lemmy.today, located US West Coast -- has an explict part of the server policy that they want to try avoiding defederation with instances, and at the moment, have no blocked instances.

I've got no idea where you're located, but if that's near you and lemmy.world does block something that you don't want blocked, might as well try lemmy.today.
