You should look into Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. I think the biggest fear is that they have so many users that they will just flood all instances with their stuff. This can, in time, lead to a situation where they can defederate from everything else and bring a lot of people with them, since most of the content will have come from Threads.

I feel though that if they were going to do that they should have done that from the beginning. A lot of the other instances now they kind of solidified themselves as big players. It would have been easy to just use Threads at the start but people have put the effort into creating accounts on other platforms now, I can’t see them going back what would be the point it would be more of it again.

No, you need some fire before you can extinguish.

So that plan at this point seems to be as far as I can understand it to be to register to a service wherever every single other user will be federate from them.
I’m sure that will work brilliantly.

You understand that the entire fediverse is a rounding error against Meta’s user base, right?

No one’s going to drop that instance to use Meta. The whole reason that most of the people are here is because they don’t trust the big sites.

You are missing the point. And by this point I’m pretty sure you’re doing so wilfully.
