If you don’t like an ActivityPub participant you block it. It’s in the architecture.
And given the current fediverse is already a tiny fraction of total social media activity, if a bunch of anti–Threads instances hive off to form their own fediverse subgroup, it’ll basically be a co-op from their perspective. They’ll just keep talking to each other off in a little corner by themselves. That’s kinda the whole damn point of a federated architecture.
