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"
I saw that mentioned on Mastodon, but honestly don't care enough about Threads to actually look at their TOS. Seems likely though given they're all about making it as bland and corporate friendly as possible.
no of course not, it's obvious, I was just surprised they already said the quiet part out loud, right now they seem to be all "buddy buddy" like we're all stupid
I mean, I wish celebrities were jumping on other options rather than "ooo shiny new facebook", they're the only ones I would personally follow, but other than that if you want to follow me choose a platform that federates
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.
