Erin Kissane recently posted an excellent writeup about the coming integration of Threads into the Mastdon/ActivityPub/Fediverse world. It is recommended reading for anyone who cares even slightly about the state of the Internet, and especially any server admins and moderators on Mastodon et al. I agree with most of it, although there is one important point on which I think we differ slightly. I want to expand on that here.

Recent events in the PHP community in the past few days have reminded me of an important point that bears repeating. Quite simply: There are always community standards, and if you are not upholding them then you are actively undermining them.
