Meta just announced that they are trying to integrate Threads with ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc.). We need to defederate them if we want to avoid them pushing their crap into fediverse.

If you're a server admin, please defederate Meta's domain "threads.net"

If you don't run your own server, please ask your server admin to defederate "threads.net".

Some of the time it is though. Like Gmail has a pretty large list of IPs it won't deliver email from. When self-hosting, it's something you really do have to worry about.

The reason most people don't worry about it is that most people only use a handful of free emails and organizations that provide email addresses for their users spend time worrying about it so users don't have to.

So erecting artificial walls is not positive then. Good we're on the same page.

No. I definitely prefer email with good spam blocking. I'm not criticizing Google for blocking mail how they do. It's pretty necessary. Which is also something you learn fairly quickly if you try to self host.

Google isn't blocking, it's moving suspected spam into the spam folder and users have the option to whitelist any false positives.

Blocking Threads completely with only "then fuck off" to the users is not what interoperability is about.

No. Google will not deliver at all a lot of email. It doesn't even make it to your spam folder.
