There was a post 12 days ago about preemptively defederating from Threads with this response from mod/admin @[email protected]

Someone said Threads was still on the Linked Instances column, not the Blocked Instances column. [Edited to delete mischaracterization of a statement]

Where can I find this list of Linked vs. Blocked?

I have [this] but I don't see Threads on there. [Edited to delete bad information]

If Threads is defederated, does that mean Meta/Facebook are as well?

Thanks!

I found this on The Verge, though it originated on Vice. I tried posting a screenshot, but that didn't work:

“Zuckerberg is clearly the Mullah Omar of this situation,” Shabanian said, referring to the founder of the Taliban and previous ruler of Afghanistan.. “You may not like him, but at least you know what you're getting. And it's uniform across platforms and districts. Unlike going with Musk, who represents a lawless, profit-driven society. Musk is all balls, no shaft, as the ancient Armenian proverb goes.”

Any thoughts on the story behind this proverb?
