being open to everything is not better though, and being open to meta specifically will threaten and lower the quality of the place. lemmy.world should defederate with threads

Couldn't a person just make the decision not to follow anything from Threads, though?

That won't keep them from coming in here and antagonizing us, flooding our instances with spam and advertising.

You're in no position dictate what an instance should or should not do. If you don't like what an instance is doing, you're welcome to join another one or start your own, that's the beauty of decentralization.

As users, we have every right to express an opinion and to ask the admin to consider taking an action. As you say, if you don't like it, join another instance.

Touche. Not dictating anything, just pointing out the obvious that when you sign up at an instance, the admin still has full control.

Which is why we shouldn't get instances grow too large as then we have the same issue as any centralized platform.
