What all the discussions about whether or not to block Threads reveals is a very common attitude on Mastodon:
"I want my preference to be the default setting for everybody because having to configure something makes Mastodon too complicated!"
Or even:
"I want my preference to be hard-coded for everybody because adding one more setting makes Mastodon too complicated!"
I guess it isn't rare for either to go along with wanting the whole Fediverse to be either Mastodon proper or exactly like vanilla Mastodon. Maybe even exactly like Mastodon 3.x before certain features that are common everywhere else in the Fediverse were introduced to Mastodon such as full-text search, displaying text formatting or displaying quotes. Because it's so hard to wrap your mind around there being differences between Mastodon on one side and stuff like Firefish, Friendica or Hubzilla on the other side.
