The question then is: does Threads federate with these servers and then have to take many active measures to make sure the most extreme content doesn't surface to its users? Or does it just block the free-speech instances entirely? If Threads de-federates from the free speech instances, then there wouldn't be enough other instances to federate with making this a failed ActivityPub attempt.
