Instances that defederate with threads wont see content from threads even on other instances that may federate with them.

As an example here lemmy.ml federates with hexbear and world but hexbear and world dont federate with each other. On lemmy.ml posts world users cant see any comments made from people on hexbear and vice versa

So they wont have to deal with them indirectly

The fact that this guy's only rebuttal is "well, just go to tankie instances" is all you need to know.

Didnt say to go anywhere, just said that people on .world cant see content from hexbear on lemmy.ml posts shown by those comment counts above even though lemmy.ml federates with hexbear. (hexbear used since its the best example of a large blocked instance that can showcase this well. Could have also used .world, .ml and beehaw and same point stands)

Same logic would apply to .world federating with threads. People on lemmy.dbzer0 for example wont see content from threads on .world posts or communities even if .world federates with threads

Just wanted to put a counterpoint to you saying people would need to deal with it indirectly which isnt true proven by the above. You dont need to strawman it by making it a different point

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

Since you're obviously one of the shills arguing in bad faith about it, know that you can't manipulate everyone into accepting corporate fists up their assholes. We will stop you one way or another.
