tess, I think it's cool if you wanna personally block Meta-run instances, or if your server declines to federate with Threads.
I am personally interested to see how the mass-federation of Tumblr, Threads, WordPress, etc. pans out.
I also think it would be good for Meta, Google, etc. to provide (paid or ad-supported) fedi services to people who want to run their own communities but could use assistance with the technical, moderation, or compliance parts of the process.
