This was not unexpected as Facebook has history of poor moderation and deliberate spread of misinformation.
If you're an instance owner or admin you might want to consider again defederating from Threads and joining the Fedipact
Wouldn’t it make more sense to move to a server that federates with Threads so that you’re not at a whim of Meta but still able to talk to people there? The point of social networks is communication with friends and those might not be so eager to jump. They might even hear from you how other servers and apps are better and move eventually :)
That makes no sense.
Any sensible person would want to avoid/run from trouble, not move towards it.
By continuing to interact with Thread users you're enabling those users to feel justified in not wanting to leave.
This system is similar to what creates regimes like the CCP or North Korea to enforce their citizens to obey their rule otherwise their connections to their family and friends are at risk.
People do not have to leave Threads. They should, but they don't have to. No harm in interacting with them. In fact, such interaction will make them aware of the alternatives.
