You're not fooling anyone.

How do you know? We should fix this on the software level.
You can block the entire domain.
Thank you for your contribution.
So we should defederate because we will have issues defederating due to the amount of content we lose? Isn't that kind of self-contradictory?
Outside of for-profit corporations and outside of academia? So neither the private sector nor the public sector? Who should do medical research then?
I like your considerations, but there are no conclusions on how users/admins/developers should act to achieve this ideal state.
There should be an option to make posts instance-local for such things.
I don't see any spam from threads.net.
If a user blocks a domain I suppose their content isn't send to that server anymore I hope?
I'm not sure I understand your question or why you think of those statements as being exclusive. I will try to answer separately.
is the fediverse a service that should allow Threads/Meta
The good thing about the Fediverse is that it isn't a single service, but many federated ones. For any single instance, I think not defederating maximizes user freedom: A user who wants to interact with Threads can do so while a user that doesn't want to see any content from Threads can block their domain.
is it like XMPP and doesn’t have to be popular
I think it's a little bit different from XMPP, in a sense that the Fediverse is a public space where I communicate with strangers, so I would like it to be popular at least among people with shared interests. For instant messaging I just need my friends there, but sure it would be easier if I didn't have to show everyone how to create an XMPP address and what client to use.
Set the default download folder to
/tmp. In the rare case you actually will need a file you download later, copy it to a better directory.
