It does seem like your goal here is to limit what other people can see, rather than curating your own individual experience. Do you believe that I should have similar influence on what content you are allowed to interact with?
I believe the users within instances should play a role in the instances' decisions on the topic. I believe you should have as much say as I do in arguing your perspective.
I'm simply making a case for why I think it is the wrong decision. I believe Threads should be treated like exploding heads and not be federated with.
If you want to see such content, you still can. You can subscribe to that source, an instance federating with it, or host your own instance. But refusing to federate with it insulates the community from propoganda, misinformation, and radicalization.
