It does actually matter, because that is what is happening.

Head over to the gaming@beehaw.org link that you shared as an example and notice that the posts are 3+ days old and all the recent posts are from instances other than beehaw; this clearly shows that Lemmy.world has not been receiving any data from beehaw for some time already.

As for hurting Lemmy and driving people to threads, is a baseless argument; anyone wanting an experience that Threads offers is not coming to Lemmy; they would either already be there or would be coming from Twitter/Mastadon. Lemmy at its core is very far from what Threads/Twitter/Mastadon try to be.

The block is older than three days.

So no need to block them then.

Sounds like you’re really missing the threads experience; why aren’t you there and posting 250 characters at a time?

why aren’t you there

Same reason I don't use GMail and yet want to keep the option open to receive and send e-mails to GMail users.
