That is a fair point, and I would agree if the only people calling for threads defederation were the snowflakes (the overly sensative opininated users you speak of). However many people have highlighted important reasons why threads federation isn't a good idea.
Reasons such as:
โ
So while there are some bad and dumb reasons people argue for defederation there are legitimate concerns over this and threads.
Side note (also a bit of a rant):
I feel like the sensitive snowflake users ruin it for people who have legitimate and valid concerns, they undermine efforts to make spaces better because people are so used to dealing with them that when a person brings up something that could be a problem or should be addressed the default response is to dismissively just tell them to block users or instances, under the assumption that a user is one of those snowflakes. (It happened back with the Rammy situation, when the user posted to alert the fediverse that their instance was rogue).Personally I feel like there should be more severity when it comes to users who make false/opinionated claims so that any claims in general aren't treated as false or non-credible by default, but I also realize that would be difficult given the size of the instance and also isn't really my pace to decide since I'm not responsible for user moderation outside of my own communities or ones I mod in.

Just some things to think about. Also sorry for the late response, been having trouble on my Lemmy app. I guess better late than never though (lot of times it is never when I'm late to check or respond).
We will see. We will be of course not cu ksu king if we see a lot of just spam, hate or just ads to "Come over to threads" ads in any way we will look into defedarating them.
