Honestly, with the user level blocking feature in personally against instance level blocking as well.
I strong believe in user choice. It’s clear from this thread that there isn’t an overwhelming majority in favor of instance blocking threads. There does not appear to be one that’s not in favor.
1a) if the instance held a vote on the matter id naturally accept the majority choice.
if privacy is a concern (which it should be because Facebook), we’re already screwed. Fediverse interactions (comments posts votes) are a matter of public record. So even if we block threads at the instance level, they can still zuck up our data so we’re not really gaining anything there.
Edit: if you’re going to down ote, be better than reddit and expand your thoughts. We’re here to discuss, not act like children redditors
You’re also forgetting that defederating means that Threads has no interaction with the fediverse meaning they can only do as much damage as a user can to those instances

Honest question, how would they be able to do damage via the federation protocol?
My understanding was that it sends data regarding posts comments and actions to all servers.
The closest I thought I had was some kind of instance ban but while that gets federated, it doesn’t result in a ban elsewhere
Instance a bans user foobar Instance b sees this information but foobar is not banned by instance b.
We saw some of that with the hexbear drama a couple of months back
