If that's true, that's definitely something that needs to be addressed. I am all in favor of users having the choice to block instances and their users, and will likely even block Threads myself. This whole shaming campaign against instances though is childish, ineffective, and against the underlying principles of federation. What's even the point if people are just going to start name and shaming every instance owner making a decision they don't like?
And for fuck's sake, I understand the core idea of embrace, extend, extinguish, don't link me the article (not you, gregorum, just random readers of this comment). I'm just not going to use that as a kneejerk way to shut down any action taken by a company I don't like.
