Hello Hachyderm! Thank you for your patience as we gathered the necessary data to write our announcement blog post regarding Threads.

The short version: Hachyderm has defederated from Threads.

Specifically, this is due to Threads changing their moderation policies and moderator guidance (see press cycle) to be in direct conflict with Hachyderm.

For the data and explainer, please see our announcement blog post:

I appreciate the fact that you all were deliberate about the choice, but this may now mean I need to move on & find a new server. I follow some good people on Threads who seemingly have no interest in the Fediverse so now, my experience is now worse for the change. That doesn't mean I think you were wrong, but the choice was wrong for me, but maybe right for many others…

Before making any changes, I'm going to see if I can replicate my old follows possibly with BlueSky or some such. I am concerned about where Threads (and Meta in general) is heading, I just don't want to lose access permanently to the journalists, filmmakers & actors that I can no longer see…

@billvinson I found this very helpful for migrating many of my follows from Threads (and Instagram) to Bluesky:
sky-follower-bridge.dev/

Sky Follower Bridge

Instantly find and follow the same users from your 𝕏 followers on Bluesky
Sky Follower Bridge

@freiheit Thanks, this looks interesting. I had started just searching for & following people on Bluesky, but this may help make that a bit smoother of a process…
