Is threads Mastadon? or Lemmy? or something else? How does it interact with lemmy? And how can I block it on my server?
Threads is a microblogging platform similar in idea to mastodon, and uses the same activitypub protocol
You can block threads.net (and there's a list on GitHub of every meta domain, if you want to be extreme)
Edit with link to list of all meta domains
I wouldn't call that extreme, because it's the only option that works.
Link?

Got a link to that repo?

Thank you. Just a couple of domains then!
Yeah no biggie, gonna type them by hand.
Honestly it doesn’t even matter. If meta really cared about fediverse data, they’d set up their own unnamed server, make a bot account that just follows and subscribes to as much as it can. Nobody would know to block it, it’d just look like another user.
It is not about data. It is about EEE. They cannot EEE it without showing their hands.
