@aral @Gargron Just to give the other side of this: there are probably a lot of pro-trans people who see server-level defederation of an instance as big as Threads as a draconian over-reaction in light of available user-level blocking tools. I just don't see any room in this thread for reasonable disagreement. It doesn't help that the few people I *am* seeing disagree are wearing their awfulness on their sleeves. Social media incentivizes a black-or-white viewpoint and I see tons of that here.

@MisterMoo @Gargron And are all these pro-trans people who want to federate with Threads in the room with you now?

@MisterMoo@mastodon.online @aral@mastodon.ar.al @Gargron@mastodon.social Too big to be banned?

No, no it really isn't.

The problem with leaving responsibility to user-level blocking tools is the size of the server in question; blocking individual threats contained among 120'000'000 users would be a full-time job. Also: you're saying you're willing to expose users to that harm. There's no real argument for this that doesn't ignore/think acceptable that prospect.
