@David I appreciate the kind words, and to be honest, this whole federating with Threads situation has been tough to deal with from a dev standpoint because I'm trying to please everyone but that isn't always possible.
You made me think of updating our registration to ask users if they would like to federate with Insta/Threads during the onboarding process, I think could actually solve most criticism in a way that satisfies both parties.
What do you think?
