Threads has an influx of bad actors (right-extremist, anti-LGBT racists and any permutation) who intentionally target vulnerable groups on the FV.
You can't rely on individual blocks, including for the whole Threads "instance". If Threads ends up in a federation, everything else on that federation is now compromised because that's simply how public content works on AP. There's no real way around this without keeping Threads out of federation.
