I was very much of the opinion that, given the amount of control Mastodon, and the Fediverse in general, allows over what content you experience, blocking Threads at server level was counterproductive. Sadly yesterday’s announcement from Meta has meant I’ve changed my mind. The lack of any moderation, and an AUP that appears to encourage abuse of minorities, leads me to conclude that Threads is destined to become an X-style hellscape. It’s such a shame as a major player in the social media landscape could have really helped ActivityPub and Fediverse decentralised services reach their full potential.
