@fromjason@mastodon.social based on info from maybe a week ago it is at least around 3k total now but that is still same order of magnitude and I doubt it has crossed 10k yet.
@tokyo_0@mas.to@3dcandy@mastodon.social I do believe blocking them has important effects beyond just stopping them from reading your toots. It creates some incentive for users to join a fediverse instances other than Threads if there is a reasonable amount of users that cannot be reached otherwise.
@tokyo_0@mas.to well he says they need it for server review... so that sounds like they just want an easy way to check the local timeline, this doesn't immediately strike me as an unreasonable ask for deciding on whether to federate with an instance. You're right though that if they want those to be the rules they should offer such a thing on Threads too...
@ramsey@phpc.social yeah it is mostly one-way for now. You do get notified of fediverse likes on Threads but not sure if it tells you who on the other side liked. You might have talked with 0xjessel through his mastodon account at @jessel@universeodon.com
