Not entirely. "The fediverse" has this concept of "fediblocking". If a large enough group of admins decides they are very much against this, they will not only block Threads, but block anyone who does not block Threads.
Basically strong-arming every admin who does not follow suit, to do as "the hivemind wants it to".
This has some positive sides to it, but it's also a weak point in the idea of decentralization.

I don't think this is true. The instance my group is using isn't participating in any of the fediblocking/blocklists stuff, and hasn't been blocked by it.
- keep_reading 3y agoThey will be if one of the fediblock proponents decides to report you. This is not an automated process at this time. It's decided by a cabal on a private Discord, really.
- tedunangst 3y agoLot of consternation over being blocked by a bunch of losers you don't want to talk to anyway.
- keep_reading 3y agoIt's really about the non-losers who you may want to talk to that get swept up as collateral damage
- subtra3t 3y agoWhat the hell? I don't use the fediverse but that sounds extremely bad.
