@kissane I really appreciate this article, as I have not really followed the Threads federating topic. My view is that this could be like email, or the general Internet at large - that these big companies have such a large influence that it will kill off any independent components. Independent servers might be able to block Threads, but Threads might become so influential that they might make them impossible to be seen in the general Fediverse if they do that. That happened with email.

@DrEvanGowan @kissane agree, and I see it potentially like email, wherein large instances, much like Gmail and other big email providers, blackhole many small mailservers by default: a lot of similar potential issues, and likely to happen with literally any new protocol that is genuinely open.
