  If they are a good citizen of the Fediverse

  They haven’t been a good citizen of the internet, why would you even give them a chance?

    The only explanation for someone getting back in line to get kicked in the balls for the 15th time in the row is the must really like getting kicked in the balls

  Mastodon users can already block entire domains. Unless it’s legally required, there’s hardly a reason why the admins would need to take the decision away from the users.

    The whole point is that instance owners/admin are allowed to run their instance however they want

      Absolutely. My comment wasn’t about mandating an all open policy to all instance admins. Just saying that they don’t have to make such decisions for their users. It’s different on Lemmy where per user instance blocking will only come in the next release, so for now Lemmy admins kinda have to make such decisions on the behalf of users as well.

    I agree. Everyone should be able to decide for themselves. My only concern is that Fediverse servers will suddenly become expensive to host because of the Threads traffic. But this would also happen with many users on many smaller instances and is not specific to Threads.

      Servers pull content based on subscriptions (follows). Meta can’t push content into the Fediverse.

        No ActivityPub is explicitly push-based. If you follow someone on a remote server, the remote server pushes their posts to your server. Meta can push content into the fediverse, but like any other user/server they can be blocked if its spammy

        I think the point is too many users following threads users as is it more likely to find a friend there than on Fediverse for example. Which will require more compute resources and storage

    Admins host, users don’t. It’s not the users’ decision.

      If the admin decides not to block them it's the users' decision. And users can choose not to use instances who block Threads.
