Comment on Instances that didn't block facebooks- thread.net

If it is - and that content comes across, that is of course good reason for instances to block it - and I'm sure they will. Meanwhile I was amused to see on Threads the same debate been handled from the opposite direction:

There’s plenty of justification not to federate beyond the extremism, from the unethical experiments they conduct on their users to their aiding in genocide.

OK. Personally, I'm quite interested in it from the opposite point of view. I'm working with a large public body in the UK, who currently use Twitter and I'm attempting to get them interested in setting up their own Mastodon instance as an alternative. (Twitter embeds don't work on their public websites any more).
Having the potential ability to reach Threads users is certainly helping me persuade them about thinking about the move to Mastodon - and not Threads.
