Transitive defederation -- defederating from instances that federate with Threads as well as defederating from Threads -- isn't likely to be an all-or-nothing thing in the free fediverses. Tradeoffs are different for different people and instances. This is one of the strengths of the fediverse, so however much transitive defederation there winds up being, I see it as overall as a positive thing -- although also messy and complicated.

The recommendation here is for instances to consider #TransitiveDefederation: discuss, and decide what to do. I've also got some thoughts on how to have the discussion -- and the strategic aspects.

does self control prevent triangle shirtwaist fire

No, that is an example of an appropriate problem to solve with regulation. "If something I exists I must buy it and that is the vendor's fault" is not.

if regular latte is 12 dollars is economy problem

McDonald's has a latte for $1 and Dunkin donuts has one for $2.65. It's not an economy problem. It's probably a pretty good latte. I dunno, never tried it, $12 is too much for sugar coffee.
