Nothing is stopping you from joining a server that federates with threads, or even starting your own.
It sounds like you randomly picked an instance, and are mad it's not the right fit for you...
And rather than put in literally 10 seconds of effort to join a new instance, you're just complaining which will accomplish nothing.
You could have joined a new instance in the time it took you to type your comment, or even just read what I just typed...
I'm not registered on this instance, so your comment is completely wrong. It's also a personal attack, but you don't even know me.
As soon as an administrator starts deciding I cannot access Threads, I obviously will move if I want to see Threads posts.
I'm quite dumbstruck however by the large amount of people that think an administrator should block a server like Threads even before they have started using ActivityPub.
My understanding is federating with busy instances increases the resources used by that lemmy server. So it’s makes sense to me that an admin blocks whatever they like. This isn’t a paid service, admins are funding this themselves or via very limited donations.
I’m not on lemmy.ml, but from what I’ve read, the majority of users there are dead set against any large corporation looking to encroach on the Fediverse. The mods seem to be following the will of the people.
