I couldn’t agree more. Racing to block Threads when it’s completely unclear if Threads will even actually ever federate and what the implications of them federating will even be seems incredibly short sighted. Imagine how much innovation would have been lost on the internet if web server admins raced to block Google Chrome from accessing their content because they have some personal beef with Google.

Imagine how few people would be using email if all the regional ISP’s decided that they were going to preventatively block their users from being able to send / receive email from larger providers like Yahoo or Gmail.
