This is why I don’t understand all the hysteria about this.

If I don’t want to see Threads or I don’t want Threads to see me, I can go to a Threads account and click “block threads.net”.

But obviously that’s too complicated and it’s easier to just whinge to your instance admin about how Threads federation will be the death of us all. 🙄

If there was a bot that just flooded All with far right talking points, do you think admins ought to block that or leave it to the users?

What if it was far right mixed in with cat memes?

What if it started more slowly like a few posts an hour and then ramped up over 6 months to be 1000s of posts per hour?

  Well, that’s spam. So obviously it would make sense to block that.

    Sure, but where is the line between spam and threads content? If the content a community produces is heavily manipulated, isn’t that undesirable for all the same reasons as spam ?

  Leave it to users. Let people decide what they want to see.
