Honestly, with the user level blocking feature in personally against instance level blocking as well.
- I strong believe in user choice. It’s clear from this thread that there isn’t an overwhelming majority in favor of instance blocking threads. There does not appear to be one that’s not in favor.
1a) if the instance held a vote on the matter id naturally accept the majority choice.
- if privacy is a concern (which it should be because Facebook), we’re already screwed. Fediverse interactions (comments posts votes) are a matter of public record. So even if we block threads at the instance level, they can still zuck up our data so we’re not really gaining anything there.

If the Threads-blocking instances have this level of maturity, I don't think we'll be missing much. Being equally childish as Facebook comments is impressive.

If threads is so great why doesn’t anyone use it

I'd throw some articles showing user counts, but you'd probably just call them fake.
But if you are actually curious, I can gladly provide some. There was just recently a big influx of users with the EU launch, a tagging system was recently introduced, and more and more large creators have continued to migrate over.

Buh bye! Go to threads then, I seriously dont care.
Facebook has shown time and time again they can not be trusted with anything.
From spreading miss information to starting a coup and every shitty thing between.

Already there actually and have had a pretty good experience, though it doesn't scratch that same Reddit-style itch nor is it trying to. It's chilling at somewhere around 100 million users, so I'm not the only one.
