    I hate defederation for things like this. This should be a user’s choice, not imposed by the instance itself. I hate how the fediverse forces the moderation choices on you.

    I dont care that instagram uses activityPub. As long as I can use activityPub myself, thats enough for me. Most people will always stick with big social media, and I would rather be able to interact with them vs. not

      Why shouldn’t the instance owner make that choice? It’s their hardware, time, money, and desire that made that instance. As soon as I start one, first thing I’m doing is making sure it never gets federated with fashy instances or meta.

        Yeah this is a weird spot with who really wants to control things. I would argue anyone with a strong opinion one way or the other should probably self host. Those that can’t will need to find an instance where their views line up with the instance admin.

        Ultimately I think you’re right though, instance admin has final say since uh, they’re the admin. Anyone who wants to admin a huge instance probably would leave it open for users to decide though.

      Nothing is forced on anyone. The user can choose a different instance that does federate with Threads, and still participate in the first instance.

        What this post is asking for is exactly not that, that if you are in any instance that federates threads, then you shouldnt be able to interact with any that follows this posts petition
