I appreciate the info, however, it doesn’t really answer my question. If I instance block I don’t see them, but they get to see all of the posts/comments I generate in threads?

This is all really interesting. Kind of reminds me of The City and the City.

Aren’t you concerned at all about EEE?

I am still new at this. If I block threads, and lemmy.world doesn’t defederate, will threads users still see my posts and comments in the communities I participate in? Is the relationship recpricol?

If not… What incentive is there to give my (admittedly mediocre) content to a mega corp whose goal is to take over this space?

I’m genuinely asking.

You are absolutely insane. You can’t drop your kid off at school like they are a car in need of an oil change. There are 1000 things parents do or don’t that effect if the kid can even listen in class, let alone learn.
