If @mastodon becomes thread-like, I’ll leave social network forever. I’m done with meta wanting to control everything, chiefly the freedom of speech in a network used to communicate. I mean, really? The upsidedown World.
There are better arguments for not federating with Meta’s Threads, some of which can be found in !fediverse@lemmy.ml. Firstly, Threads isn’t going to be able to restrict speech on other instances, at least not in any direct fashion. And secondly and more importantly, an argument for “freedom of speech” without qualifications is either naive or disingenuous: Paradox of tolerance
Right, that and knowing the long history of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish (EEE) ought to be sufficient.
just go to an instance that doesn’t federate with threads.net
You can also block the threads.net instance on the most recent lemmy version (0.19.0)
You can’t block Threads users or comments with the Lemmy instance block function, which basically makes the lemmy instance block function practically useless.
Then use the block user function?
For countless thousands or millions of individual accounts? Are you joking?
Instance blocking, should block the entire instance, users and all. Not just its posts. 
To all the people worrying about threads: people don’t use it. They use it less than mastodon users use mastodon.
You got any data for that?
Check out all the articles on the massive dips following the sign ups.
Dont know why I’m getting so heavily downvoted by people who probably havent spent a second in the ghost town that is threads (I have). Getting 30 likes on threads is like getting a million on twitter.
Also, how are people not looking at my factual statement as good news?
It’s not factual https://explodingtopics.com/blog/threads-users
Okay.
