Would banning threads users be a mod violation? (self.moderators)

Can I make a rule for my community that threads users will be banned?
If .world doesn't defederate and threads users find their way into my community, I want to ban any that interact. Using anything meta related is a fundamental violation of the values I hold for using FOSS and the fediverse.
Would doing so violate the guidelines? I don't see anything suggesting it would, but want to check.

I think the question you should ask is what kind of impression are you making? From the perspective of someone who doesn't know how open source or the fediverse works, they will see your actions as arbitrary and unfair (effectively this: [email protected]).

That being said, I am going to have a zero tolerance policy for bending the rules or generally being a jerk from Threads users.
