If @mastodon becomes thread-like, I’ll leave social network forever. I’m done with meta wanting to control everything, chiefly the freedom of speech in a network used to communicate. I mean, really? The upsidedown World.
just go to an instance that doesn’t federate with threads.net
You can also block the threads.net instance on the most recent lemmy version (0.19.0)
You can’t block Threads users or comments with the Lemmy instance block function, which basically makes the lemmy instance block function practically useless.
Interesting, maybe this can be suggested as a future update for lemmy
It was suggested long ago. This useless bs is what we got instead.
Then use the block user function?
For countless thousands or millions of individual accounts? Are you joking?
Instance blocking, should block the entire instance, users and all. Not just its posts. 
If your stance is to stop any interactions with people who use Meta products, then you probably need to stop using the internet.
How much is meta paying you to say that?
@abobla thank you for the update. Where can I block it? Can you help me with it?
There are better arguments for not federating with Meta’s Threads, some of which can be found in !fediverse@lemmy.ml. Firstly, Threads isn’t going to be able to restrict speech on other instances, at least not in any direct fashion. And secondly and more importantly, an argument for “freedom of speech” without qualifications is either naive or disingenuous: Paradox of tolerance
Right, that and knowing the long history of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish (EEE) ought to be sufficient.
is culture issue
@davel what do you mean about “an argument without qualification”? And what has this to do with what meta is banning?
Here’s a question, forgive my ignorance. Is there a way to determine ownership of an instance beyond the name of the user account that owns it?
What if meta used their massive amounts of data storage to flood the fediverse with meta-owned instances, making it difficult or impossible to determine what they control and what they do not?
This is a concern I have also posed.
Furthermore, greed becomes a factor when you consider someone could sell their instance to a corporation with no one being any the wiser.
This will be an ongoing struggle until capitalism is ended. Westerners think China has a firewall to keep The Truth out, but mostly it’s to keep foreign capitalists out.
What’s threadlike mean?
Okay.

You got any data for that?

Oh, it is good news. I wanted a source, so I can embrace in the excitement. I want Meta to fail, and anything that contributes towards it is great in my book. I just want to know it’s actually happening and see it in the data!
It’s not factual https://explodingtopics.com/blog/threads-users

How would meta control your speech on a platform they don’t run?
Oh no, your posts might not be visible to people using Threads!
As a side note, I don’t think Mastodon posts should show up on lemmy at all.
