Gosh this giant group of White Nationalists wants to come to my house for my birthday, well wow golly gee every opinion is a rich and valuable thing better let them in
They enter the Fediverse, use ActivityPub, begin adding some “extensions” to it and suddenly everyone has to play cat and mouse with the new extensions because Meta has 90% of the users. Then, some time later, Meta says they don’t see the need to be federated anymore and pull the plug, disconnecting everyone in the Fediverse from 90% (or more) of the users and from the communities that live on the Meta side.
Just look at what happened with Jabber and Google Talk.
But shouldn’t it be up to individual users whether they want to interact with those people or not? I guess to take your example, unless you’re the instance admin, it’s not your house, and you’re just another guest…?
I suppose the counter argument is; go join an instance that don’t block them? But does that imply that those instances are also not federated in instances that do block Threads?

Is threads that bad?
Not necessarily threads, but to remain wide open isn’t necessarily the best policy. Or so I assume this to be the point they were making.
