      Couldn’t just some of y’all defed instead of blocking it wholesale for everyone?

      I thought one of the main perks of federation was user choice?

        Yeah and we choose you going somewhere else to play with Facebook.

            This place is growing just fine already, we don’t need to dump 141 million new accounts into it overnight.

              That’s not how federation and mastodon works, and you know that very well.

              Simply don’t follow anyone on threads if you don’t wanna see thread content. But who TF cares where the content comes from?

                I care. If I start seeing content from Meta in the fediverse I’ll probably just leave.

                  Why? Why are humans who use threads so repulsive to you that you leave an entire federated social network just because some people used a particular server?

      Meh. Threads is quite busy on my feed. I loved chatting during Doctor Who just like I used to when Twitter was around. I use Lemmy, Mastodon, and Threads, personally. I find Threads to be super wholesome and positive and it can only help the Fediverse thrive with mainstream users much like Gmail did with email.
