As announced every account that was not already following someone on threads.net has now had a domain block added for that instance. This makes interaction with threads.net an opt-in procedure.

If you want to unblock threads, the easiest process is the following:

1. On fediscience.org, search for an existing threads.net profile and open it (e.g. https://fediscience.org/@mosseri@threads.net or https://fediscience.org/@potus@threads.net are likely to still exist)
2. Click the ellipsis button (next to the follow button on the standard web interface), to reveal more options including “Unblock domain threads.net” (see screenshot below)
   
3. Select that option and you have now opted in to threads.net (i.e. you can follow people there and interact with their posts)
4. To revert this at any time, open the same menu and peruse the “Block domain threads.net” action

Please note: as of 26.06.2024 threads.net is not fully federated. They do not support all features yet (or have not activated them everywhere). E.g. people on threads.net cannot follow accounts in the fediverse yet.
