Meta’s ‘friendly’ Threads collides with unfriendly internet

“If an account or server, or if we find many accounts from a particular server, is found violating our rules then they would be blocked from accessing Threads, meaning that server’s content would no longer appear on Threads and vice versa,” she said.

“With federation, the metadata that big platforms use to tie accounts to a single actor or detect abusive behavior at scale aren’t available,” said Stamos. “This is going to make stopping spammers, troll farms, and economically driven abusers much harder.”

I like how Meta (and an ex-Meta) is framing interoperability with the fediverse that they are the ones that’s potentially going to be the problem, lol.
