    Because Meta is a threat to the Fediverse and we should block everything they create or try to. They want to destroy this place.

      They got 70m users in a few days. Mastodon has a few million after a year. I don’t think Meta cares about us at all!

      Except:

      • how do you decide what company is a threat and what company isn’t?
      • the users that consider Meta already a threat can block Threads themselves

      Why would you want an administrator to make those decisions on your behalf?

        The users who don’t consider Meta a threat can find a server that won’t block them. Or start their own.

        Admin’s website, admin’s rules.

        I think it sends a good message. That we don’t want your corporate garbage at all. From the top down.

        It’s less effort for me to go out and block garbage. If they start blocking stuff I don’t want blocked I can either migrate or work on selfhosting.
