I asked and enough of you answered that allowing to federate with threads.net even for the lolz would be considered too risky for y'all.
So I've gone ahead and added threads.net to our blocklist.

And defederating threads would not be considered „locking down“?
It's not. It's a choice that instances make, not a change to the protocol. You can always change your instance or host your own and as long as Threads conforms to the activitypub protocol you can interact with it. Locking down cannot happen as long as majority of participants adhere to an open protocol. It is what happens when a major player makes proprietary changes to how interaction works. Please study how EEE works, there are numerous examples in the past. Defederation is not that.
Well I believe we will come to no agreement then. To my understanding, locking down is both, proprietary software and the decision to defederate. Because both have the same result.
