@vama85 THIS. This is a point I made before. Leave it up to the users, the feature is right there. Don't make the choice for the users.

@ThePlant @vama85 I mean, yeah, but the admins are paying for the instance. The fediverse is still free because if you want you can create your own instance. They people paying have the right to do what they consider best for their users.

Also, you can allow Threads users to read your instance and follow your users toots, but from Mastodon you can't get any posts from Threads. They are the ones who are blocking all the fediverse and want to absorb as many users as possible. Admins are just blocking an instance that wants to steal their data without giving absolutely anything in return.

@ellohir @vama85 they have literally only just begun their testing, it will be both ways

@ThePlant @vama85 I just don't understand why they've released it in this state. They could install a local mastodon instance to do any kind of tests before going live with the integration. This "one-way only" really damages their reputation with the rest of the instances the longer it goes on. It's exactly what people wary of them feared would happen.
