That’s not how federation works, which makes me worried that users who get to “vote” on this thing (they don’t, it’s the instance owners that do) actually do not understand what would happen.
is there a writeup somewhere that ideally goes into enough detail to clearly understand how instances/federation work and what would really happen ? I hate Meta but I realize I have no clue what threads coming means and implies, decentralized systems are very unintuitive when you’re used to conventional social media.
If I understand correctly, your server will only receive posts from users that someone on your server has subscribed to, so the number is overblown by several orders of magnitude.

Just block their domain, no need to take away the freedom of other users even if you hate Meta.

It’s exactly what would happen, as users on my server would look up instances on meta servers.
