It’s far worse. They’re making improvements only on their side. The protocol everyone uses will lack the features their protocol offers. In other words, their side of the garden is now greener than ours, and one day, their side will be so majestic and beautiful compared to ours that almost nobody will want to visit it anymore, and like a flame without fuel, the Fediverse will Extinguish on its own.

Ha.. no.
As I said before, their instance and it's bells and whistles are irrelevant to my instance. Me and my instance only care about The ap protocol. I have no reason to fear their instance as long as it's pumping out the standard protocol. Anything not standard gets dropped.
Zero problem here.

Oh, be assured that threads will one day defederate and build a wall so you can’t access their content anymore. The Fediverse need to have a critical mass of users to survive when it happens, but if the features thread offers are too compelling and the majority of the new accounts are made in threads, the Fediverse is screwed.

Isn't that already the case? The Fediverse is doing fine under current circumstances.

ahh i see the 'non-technical, moral' argument. i can appreciate this one. take a stand, you do you!
im going to do me.
i dont go out of my way to block instances just because i hate the companies. im focusing on interoperability concerns.
im glad we can agree, theres no technical concern with threads federation.
