Afaik, whenever an Activitypub instance has defederated from another it has always had to do with some combination of bad user behavior, poor moderation, and/or spam. Are the various instance admins who have decided to preemptively block threads.net simply convinced that these traits will be inevitable with it? Is it more of a symbolic move, because we all hate Meta? Or is the idea to just maintain a barrier (albeit a porous one) between us and the part of the Internet inhabited by our chuddy relatives?

(For my part, I'm working on setting up my own Lemmy and/or Pixelfed instance(s) and I do not currently intend to defederate.)

I need NSFW enabled for a few communities that use it as spoiler tags unfortunately.

I just don’t see the point in an all feed. I’m perfectly good with using my local feed. That’s why I’m on Lemmy.world. I have little to no interest in most instances and just stick to the one I signed up on. As it is now, if threads federated I’d likely see no change. Id have to go specifically looking for that content.
