Yeah, but has threads made an official statement like this yet on defederation rules? I'm an instance owner so I'm pretty sure I'd just reply back "lol"
Exactly. Every instance will defederate from another if they are not acting in the way that they want. I don't see why Threads would be any different.
I guess the difference may be that the policies are much more restrictive rather than something like "is a frequent source of spam and hate speech" but there is always going to be a policy.
I'll believe it when I see it. The fact they allowed it the first step on the majority of instances(by user count) means when we cool off they will win the next step too.
Think of meta like reddit. Don't want to be on facebook via federation? Just post jonny O or NSFW. Not like facebook is going to do anything but defederate from your instance. Kind of like how all instances work.
I'm surprised that nsfw spam is a viable trick. It makes sense, it just feels so weird to be viable. I'd expect it to mysteriously become against the rules as per my above post though. I'd prefer to talk about meta and their help towards genocide etc though. I'll have to start making a list of their dirty deeds.
