So here I am sitting on lemmy.ml which is defederated from threads (and which I chose primarily for that reason) and I see a comment from the user above.

That comment is on a community at lemmy.world, and the user is apparently registered with their @threads username through @sh.itjust.works.

IIRC .world does NOT respect the fedipact, and I guess this means sh.itjust.works must not either, but I’m super confused by the username.

So I guess I still need to just block all the threads users I see, defederation or not?

It’s a different colour, so it’s just what that user has set as their display name.

This is why every frontend needs an option to disable display names. This and the emoji and zalgotext.
