Since you didn't specify and I don't know enough about Threads to say with certainty I'll assume you're logged in. At that point that's all that matters. Posting will only associate whatever you say with your account but ultimately your posting isn't exactly what they care about, they can monitor your traffic and usage in a number of other ways, especially if logged in.
I think the bot only detects bad links. They need to build in a check for the correct link in the same comment. This bot is on pretty much every newcommunities post.
I've been looking at some static page options as well as some FOSS alternatives, just haven't pulled the trigger since I'm not super concerned about it.
Ultimately though my primary domain actually just points to NGINX Proxy Manager which hands off to everything else.
I believe I see options in my admin portal that would allow making your instance private. If that doesn't do what you want I wonder if you could populate the whitelist with a phony address which would affectively defederate you from everything.
Edit: I did have to update the yml to use latest. I'm not sure if it's something with Ansible but when I followed the update steps to update using Ansible it seems to hardcode the version in, not sure where it's pulling that from.
This is probably a dumb question but I used the Ansible install for Lemmy and just did a git pull and --become again but UI wasn’t updated so I assume 0.18.2 isn’t in release yet (which is fine) but is there documentation on updating UI? I see where it’s showing in the docker-compose.yml file but I am uncertain what to do after changing it there (or if that’s the right place to change it).

But also fuck him, he's a POS. What a loss too.
