Threads cannot make other instances run ads.

I stopped here because you just showed how little you know about the situation. What's to stop them posting paid advertisements as posts on their platform, boosted by millions of their users engagement, to the top of feeds in the fediverse? Oh, it's defederation.

Well, unlike you I've actually read the announcement by the LW admins about Threads.

Simply not following accounts you don't like, duh.

I'm on lemmy, I don't follow any accounts. Good job showing how limited your knowledge of the fediverse is and confirming you're as dumb as I thought in one fell swoop.

You just confirmed that you ran out of arguments and realized that, then decided to go on the offense. Too bad you broke the Code of Conduct. Perhaps go back to Twitter where such behavior is encouraged.
