Apparently, lemmy.ml already blocked Threads before Threads started using ActivityPub.
Personally speaking, I don’t like it if administrators start deciding for all users on their server what they can and cannot see (although they obviously have the right to do so).
If I want to follow a community or user in Threads, why should an administrator of a Lemmy server be able to prevent me from doing that? It also sounds rather silly, as it’s terribly easy to create multiple accounts on various Lemmy servers and read Threads posts that way.
I’m not registered on this instance, so your comment is completely wrong. It’s also a personal attack, but you don’t even know me.
As soon as an administrator starts deciding I cannot access Threads, I obviously will move if I want to see Threads posts.
I’m quite dumbstruck however by the large amount of people that think an administrator should block a server like Threads even before they have started using ActivityPub.
My understanding is federating with busy instances increases the resources used by that lemmy server. So it’s makes sense to me that an admin blocks whatever they like. This isn’t a paid service, admins are funding this themselves or via very limited donations.

Because Meta is a threat to the Fediverse and we should block everything they create or try to. They want to destroy this place.
They got 70m users in a few days. Mastodon has a few million after a year. I don’t think Meta cares about us at all!
Oh care just enough to see us squashed.
Or…not at all.
Except:
Why would you want an administrator to make those decisions on your behalf?
The users who don’t consider Meta a threat can find a server that won’t block them. Or start their own.
Admin’s website, admin’s rules.
I think it sends a good message. That we don’t want your corporate garbage at all. From the top down.
This will give you a good idea of which Mastodon instances will federate with Threads:
https://fedipact.veganism.social/
Just create an account at one of the instances that will federate and you’re all set.
It’s less effort for me to go out and block garbage. If they start blocking stuff I don’t want blocked I can either migrate or work on selfhosting.

These complaints make no sense. Join an instance that federated with them or make your own instance. Mods making decisions! Think of the children!
Just choose new mods. You can do that here.
