@trumpet please stop blocking threads so that I can follow and boost @POTUS@threads.net

This policy of blocking entire instances simply because you don't like who runs them is silly and detrimental to the Fediverse not to mention our democracy.

@schizanon @trumpet Opinions differ a LOT on that.

Personally I've no interest in seeing content from Threads - if I wanted to see content from Threads, I would join Threads. Same with Twitter, BlueSky and so on.

I think that is the main reason people should not boost or otherwise inject content from one social media provider into another.

In the case of Threads, specifically, it's really not about disliking the person who runs it. It's much more about disliking (and TBH fearing) the proven pattern of evils perpetrated by the company that runs it. Many of those evils are very detrimental to democracy generally - not only yours.

So I'm very happy for my instance to block Threads, and feel it would benefit the world if all of Meta were gone - but for now, I'll take keeping the fediverse Threads-free :-)

Even more specifically though, I have no interest at all in seeing anything by, from or about the President of your country. I suspect I have this in common with a pretty large contingent of people who get quite enough information about the goings-on in that pocket of the world from other sources (or from people in offering their own takes rather than regurgitated ones).

So I for one will be filtering out any content from Threads if I see it start arriving in any significant volume. If your content ends up consisting substantially of regurgitated content from Threads, I will block you too. As I have blocked many who seem only to regurgitate Twitter, BlueSky, etc.

But opinions differ! I am sure there will be many instances that block Threads, and many instances that do not. As with so many other things, the great freedom of the fediverse is that you can easily move to an instance that meets your needs.
