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.

Except:

• how do you decide what company is a threat and what company isn’t?
• the users that consider Meta already a threat can block Threads themselves

Why would you want an administrator to make those decisions on your behalf?

I don’t get it. Many Lemmy users left Reddit because they didn’t like the way Reddit approached the API situation and complaints that followed.

Why is it a good idea that a Lemmy server administrator decides for all it’s users they cannot read Threads posts?

Apparently, lemmy.ml already blocked Threads before Threads started using ActivityPub.

Personally speaking, I don’t like it if administrators start deciding for all users on their server what they can and cannot see (although they obviously have the right to do so).

If I want to follow a community or user in Threads, why should an administrator of a Lemmy server be able to prevent me from doing that? It also sounds rather silly, as it’s terribly easy to create multiple accounts on various Lemmy servers and read Threads posts that way.
