Yesterday I learned that a significant part of the fediverse (major instances, users) will actively block Threads.
I'm also seeing a lot of toots from users lobbying their instances to do the same. Including the instance I chose.
Personally I want to see Threads' content and I'd prefer to do so from within Mastodon. But if Mastodon wants to be a nice cozy closed echo chamber instead of federating with those (soon to be) 500M new users that's also fine. It's just not what I was promised/thought I was signing up for, so I'll leave (I won't self host).

Just change to a homeserver that moderates the way you agree with. Mine made a poll and it doesn't look like there will be any restrictions on federating with Threads.
