These findings indicate that Threads engineers are exploring ad technology, but that doesn't mean Threads will debut ads anytime soon, as some suspect.
And they cannot circumvent to ActivityPub protocol to display ads to users who don’t want so see them. Claiming otherwise is conspiracy theories.
Blocking Facebook as a user is not good enough
Yes, it is.
Any server that connects to them legitimizes them and is not acceptable behavior.
That’s not for you to decide.
It absolute is not a conspiracy
It absolutely is.
and most people unwilling to participate in any server that interacts with Facebook in any way
First: That’s untrue.
Second: Such an opinion is based on conspiracy theories and therefore not valid.
are doing so exactly because they understand the technology
No, they and you don’t.
“I won’t participate in a platform that doesn’t completely block Facebook” is not the naive, uninformed position.
Yes, it is and you don’t even realize that you are participatin in a platform that doesn’t completely block Facebook Threads right now. That’s proof enough that you don’t understand the technology.
It’s the people who recognize how pure fucking evil Facebook is.
Then allowing ad-free access to accounts hosted there should be your agenda. That’s how they don’t get money, not by pushing people to sign up for their platform, just because they want to follow their favorite movie franchise or sports team.

https://sh.itjust.works/instances lists threads.net under the blocked instances list, not everyone is using lemmy.world. Inform yourself before accusing others of making uninformed statements.

But you’re in an lemmy.word-hosted community right now, interacting with me who has a LW account, so you’re participating on a platform that’s federating with Threads. That’s like claiming not to participate with anything Google while mailing these claims to GMail addresses. You’re participating. You just don’t know how ActivityPub works and that’s why you think that being on any Fediverse server that didn’t explicitly block Threads would result in sposored posts from Threads magically showing up. You’re a conspiracy theorist.
Note the absence of any comment made by a user on ani.social. As far as users on lemmy.ml are concerned ani.social does not exist (as of 10 months ago, some existing content before then can still be viewed). I think you don’t know how ActivityPub works and calling me a conspiracy theorist won’t change that.

You very obviously do not understand how the blocklist works so here’s a very practical example:
ani.social is blocked by lemmy.ml.
Here is a post on lemmy.world containing comments by users from ani.social: https://lemmy.world/post/18538115
Here is that same post on lemmy.ml, which has blocked ani.social: https://lemmy.ml/post/19043133
