And I think letting everyone decide for themselves how they run their instances and who they federate with is an important cornerstone of the fediverse. I’m more than fine with people not wanting to interact with threads. But what happens on my tiny instance with me as the only active user shouldn’t be cause for outrage.

I’ve once been downvoted to oblivion for not defederating threads.com before it even went online. Fediverse people are weird.

Just a regular Mastodon server with federation disabled might be a good start.
