    but have failed to read the specifications themselves.

    What the specs say doesn’t matter if reality behaves a different way. Fact is that Beehaw blocked Lemmy.world but not the other way around and therefore Lemmy.world users can read everything from Beehaw. Lemmy.world blocking Threads would thereby be at best just a symbolic gesture and at worst actively driving people away towards Threads because that’s where they can access all the content. If an e-mail provider blocked all mails from @gmail.com, most of its users would jump ship towards a provider that doesn’t do that and perhaps even drive them towards GMail.

      It does actually matter, because that is what is happening.

      Head over to the gaming@beehaw.org link that you shared as an example and notice that the posts are 3+ days old and all the recent posts are from instances other than beehaw; this clearly shows that Lemmy.world has not been receiving any data from beehaw for some time already.

      As for hurting Lemmy and driving people to threads, is a baseless argument; anyone wanting an experience that Threads offers is not coming to Lemmy; they would either already be there or would be coming from Twitter/Mastadon. Lemmy at its core is very far from what Threads/Twitter/Mastadon try to be.

        The block is older than three days.

        anyone wanting an experience that Threads offers is not coming to Lemmy

        So no need to block them then.

          Sounds like you’re really missing the threads experience; why aren’t you there and posting 250 characters at a time?

            why aren’t you there

            Same reason I don’t use GMail and yet want to keep the option open to receive and send e-mails to GMail users.
