  • You can follow Threads accounts after clicking through a warning.

  • People who don't follow those same people won't see their posts.

  • You have to manually approve followers from Threads.

Basically, it puts Threads in quarantine, without cutting off all connections.

I think this sounds way more reasonable. There's will always be people like celebrities that I might want to follow, who will probably never be on mastodon or Lemmy. But I also understand the existential concerns for the future of the fediverse.

Do you mind explaining what a fedipact is too?
