I'm going to write something longer as the admin regarding Threads.. but for now, I'm hoping to encourage the Mastodon developers to develop this place in a way that shifts a little of the authority from admins to users about what they can/cannot see, and how your toots & content is/isn't shared (similar to the opt-in for full text search).
Claire already has a plan in the works to allow people who want to see Threads to opt-in, and those who don't can tell Threads to get stuffed...
and as a whole, I'd feel better being in a situation where everybody here can "Choose their poison/risk" instead of me forcing your hand. We will see how the future holds.
(I'm never going to remove the restrictions on nazi instances, but in regards to Threads, I'm going to choose safety and my moderator team for now). Threads needs to earn my trust.
@shlee I'm assuming Meta will enter the fediverse under one domain: threads.net . Every user can block a domain, so isn't the power to do what you described already available?
