Transitive defederation – defederating from instances that federate with Threads as well as defederating from Threads – isn’t likely to be an all-or-nothing thing in the free fediverses. Tradeoffs are different for different people and instances. This is one of the strengths of the fediverse, so however much transitive defederation there winds up being, I see it as overall as a positive thing – although also messy and complicated.
The recommendation here is for instances to consider #TransitiveDefederation: discuss, and decide what to do. I’ve also got some thoughts on how to have the discussion – and the strategic aspects.

What sort of “Meta shit” would you possibly expect to appear on your timeline?
Sort by “all,” and the popular instances show up.
I wouldn’t like to see FB and Threads dominate that with the bleating of the sheep they’ve cultivated.
Okay, but what sort of material would you expect to actually see on your timeline in this scenario?
They can’t answer this. All they do is downvote you. It means you found the end of their philosophy.
For some people, their philosophy ends where a question about specifics begins.
Wow. Really reaching there, huh?
What Meta shit wouldn’t I like to see? A general watering down of the comment quality. Trolling. Nonsense. What has happened to every somewhat technical technology the second the normies cry “gatekeeping” and force their way in with a dumb fucking look on their face and without an original idea in their heads.
That Meta shit is what I’d like to avoid. Just because one doesn’t have opportunity to respond doesn’t mean there isn’t a response.
””””influencers””””
Pretty sure they’re on TikTok, and not Threads.
