Despite the fact that Threads users can’t follow or see mentions from people on other instances, Threads has already opted to block a slew of instances where gay & leather people congregate.
On Threads, the topic of "Threads Moderation Failures" is trending. Some users complain their accounts are being deleted or restricted for linking to articles with controversial topics. Instagram and Threads boss Adam Mosseri is directly replying to some complaints and said he’s "looking into it." And I’m one of many people who’s had their account deleted for allegedly being a child — which I am not.
