Why are fediverse admins blocking out threads? (reddthat.com)

I get meta evil, but aren’t we just blocking out any users from accessing the wider fediverse?

If I wanted a centralized space of as many users as possible then I wouldn't be on the fediverse and be on reddit, Facebook, tiktok, etc.

I'm here because I want to sever my connection to those type of corporate run platforms as much as possible, and being federated with them defeats the purpose of being here for me. Why wouldn't I then just use those sites directly instead of putting up with the growing pains of the fediverse and fragmentation of communities?
