The Fediverse is currently divided over whether or not to block Threads. Here are some of the things people are worried about, some opportunities that might come from it, and what we need to do to prepare.

At the end of the day I want to escape corporate spaces, the more companies that come into the Fediverse the more I’m likely to leave it.

It’s great if some people want to access their content, but you can already do that through their services.

What we don’t have is a purely people focused space on the Internet. We need to be steering the Fediverse in this direction, not seek to emulate what we left.

This doesn’t make sense. You don’t have to be on an instance that federates with Threads or any corporation. You as a user can also block domains. You don’t have to leave and can still enjoy the space on your terms

This totally makes sense. You as a user cant just block whole instances in most cases and it is great that there are instances that view it like you do.
