After some deliberation and feedback received from our users, sunny.garden has decided to pro-actively block Meta's upcoming Threads service out of an abundance of caution. :blob_sign_no:

sunny.garden has limited newsie.social as it currently hosts @NEWSMAX a far-right american media outlet, and will consider increasing this to a suspension in the future if newsie.social demonstrates a willingness to continue platforming far-right and transphobic media, against its own stated commitment to the Mastodon Server Covenant: "Active moderation against racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia"

In the meantime, I would highly encourage media outlets such as @ProPublica to migrate to their own independent fediverse instances with all due haste, where they will have greater control over their presence on the fediverse, and avoid "both-sides" entanglement with other organizations which do not share their values.
