This is like saying "my email provider should block all emails from Gmail".
And they can hoover your data right now. Like, you think bots aren't spidering the site already? It's a public website.
We do this all the time. Email providers block millions of domains for spam.
I don't see any spam from threads.net.
I consider most content on Facebook owned sites to be useless spam.
Not yet anyway. I wouldn't expect that to stay the same forever though. Especially considering the amount of spam that's already on Facebook.
Facebook does not have good very good moderation on their platforms (it's only good enough to keep up their image in the public eye), and I don't think threads will be an exception to that.
I feel like it'll probably be one of the bigger sources of spam and hate speech on the Fediverse, at least for servers that don't block it.
