Too bad people on mastodon don’t have the ability to block an instance they find objectionable for themselves-- oh wait.
Not sure about Lemmy, but we can do this on mastodon. I don’t need someone else deciding for me.
Tldr? Couldn’t disagree more

Yeah, another fail from the design team.
Kinda stupid how much we value having power taken away from us and given to random people on the internet.

I agree, I don’t want a blanket ban on Threads. I know Meta is a horrible company, but we shouldn’t decide in advance.
Honestly, I’d be very happy to be able to follow people on Threads through my privacy-respecting Mastodon/Lemmy app. Because, let’s be serious: we’re just a bunch of nerds here. If I want to follow famous people or companies, I’m going to find them on Meta’s platforms, not here.

It might take time but why not naturally wait for these famous people to expand their network and consider being on lemmy? Without having to interact with Threads at all? I feel it would just be a matter of time, and we can adjust on our own terms instead of having to let Threads in.

why do you want to follow famous people and companies
Scrollone@feddit.it 1 year ago
Why not? I want to keep up to date with their announcements and products. Famous people could be writers, journalists, whatever.
Following famous people and companies is what 99% of users of “normal” social media do.

Famous people need regulars to follow them. Get more people like you and me and celebrities will follow.
