@FediThing Thankfully, can be carefully curated, and moderated as I described. Just as any fediverse accounts need to be.
I get the idea that you can protect yourself from bad content.
But if someone who isn't part of a particular vulnerable group reads some lie about that group, and falls for the lie, they will feel no need to block it. They will think they've uncovered "the truth" and will follow the account, then spread the account's lies to others on their own instance. It's a contagion of misinformation which can lead to horrible stuff in the real world.
The source of hate lies needs to be shut off at source by defederating the instances that refuse to moderate hate. That's what the Fediverse has traditionally done up till now.
@FediThing I absolutely agree that each server admin needs to take actions too to moderate not just leave it to individuals. And I think it fine that some communities choose to block threads.
Thus far at Indieweb social 871 of our users follow over 3,600+ threads users, have seen over 153K posts and we have had ZERO tickets issued for any threads user. Could this change as Threads fully federates? Sure. But so far so good.
