That would make sense…

I think so too. And I tried to do my research before making this post, but I wasn’t able to find anyone bringing this issue up.

That’s totally okay! You didn’t address my specific issue; but I didn’t know that there were instances across the Fediverse that chose to defederate from Threads. I think that, in a way, you’ve partly answered my question. Thank you for taking your time to answer.

Oh, that’s interesting; I had no idea. I’ll go to my Threads profile and check it. I’ll edit this comment later informing whether there really is that option.

Edit: The only option I was able to find was “Suggesting posts on other apps,” and when I clicked on it I only had two options: Instagram and Facebook – none of which are part of the Fediverse. I wasn’t able to find anything on 'Meta’s Accounts Center’ either.

I didn’t know that website, thank you! However, my instance has chosen not to defederate from Threads – according to the source you cited. So, I’m not entirely sure why this is happening.
