There's a common false dichotomy about #Threads: cut them off, or leave it to user choice.
I can't speak to other software, but Mastodon offers a third option: limiting Threads. This can be done for all users of a server.
You can follow Threads accounts after clicking through a warning.
You have to manually approve followers from Threads.
Note, however, that boosted posts will continue to appear in your home timeline:
