How do I find out if my Mastodon server is federated with Threads?

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 day ago

At least on mine, there's an "About" link on the bottom left side on the web interface, click that and scroll to the bottom where you'll get a list of blocked servers, then just uncollapse that and ctrl+f for "threads.net".

Also if you search "@threads.net" in your mastodon client and you find users from that server, then your server should be connected

Oh, no It's not like Mastodon instances have fact checkers or even sufficient moderation staff

Back in my day we were perfectly capable of checking our own facts. A rare skill these days.

I have an idea. Make it so every time you create a social media account, you have to check "agree" to a giant banner that says "if you take anything you see on here seriously, you are an idiot.". That's how we used to automatically treat things on the Internet at first glance.
