Meta can only do that on threads though. I don't care, that's really not my business.

Yeah, he's pretty hot
Kind of a drama lightning rod. Fair warning.
Agreed, and I don't intend to stop at the moment. When I wrote "close it" I meant registration, sorry about the ambiguous language.
I'm aware of the risk, but so far the captcha seems to have prevented any mass sign-up, and none of the few other existing accounts so far have any activity. That said, since I have no intention to support a user base anymore, I probably should close it anyway.
I run my own instance that technically does have open registration, but I can't really recommend anyone actually sign up to use it. It's not running on very powerful hardware, and my commitment to keeping it running 24/7 is "as long as it stays convenient and interesting." There are probably many, many of those. But there are a good collection of second and third tier instances now as well, I'm not to worried about .world's popularity so long as they don't do something like switch to a federation allow-list rather than a block list.
Donald Trump is pretty much the most American creature alive.
Personally, I think it's okay for things to disappear sometimes. Nothing is permanent. I have no anxiety about this.
The bigger deal is that development by this team has been halted, not that it will be a little harder to find a trustworthy download of the most recent version.
I love Jod
Ah, you've got them now!
You're missing the point. I don't want you to understand my feelings, I want someone to explain to me what the big deal is. How meta "moderates" their platform has no effect on me, a non-threads user. What is my stake in it?
