Lemmy needs an option for a user to block an instance.
If your local instance is not going to defederate with meta then an average user can't do anything about it.
Yeah sure you can create a new user in other instance or selfhost an instance, but who would actually go through that?
Everyone should change their instance to one they agree with. If you don't want to be federated to Meta, go to an instance that's not federated.
User blocks are pretty much a simple filter, Meta will still have your data if you block them individually instead of defederating.
Sounds great, but in the end it just means everyone has to host their own instance. That could be interesting, but I doubt everyone would want to do that.
Not really? There are plenty instances which defederate from Threads. If that's important to you, you should join one of those.
This isn't exlusively about Threads.
