Personally I believe that it’ll make people associate the Fediverse with Threads, which is not a good thing. Edit: It’ll replace their definition of the Fediverse, with Threads, and people may widely forget about Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin etc.

So the folks who decide to leave the latest dumpster fire of a mismanaged tech company that shits all over its users (Twitter/Reddit) to intentionally choose to move to a company that has been shitting all over its users (and worse) for years and years, are going to be the ones that will make Threads better, and that we should eventually hope to federate with? Am I reading you right?

Judging a platform by its users or vis versa is really shitty unless it’s something truly extreme like Nazi’s. “Do we really want normies who mostly follow celebrities and l brands?” Yes, we do. I’d love to follow Matt Mercer and Wizards of the Coast on here. I’d love to follow my favorite youtubers and politicians and game studios. That probably sounds pretty palatable to many users here, but if my mom follows movie stars, TV networks, and crafting influences because those are her interests, how is that any less legitimate? And is it wrong for me to want the accounts she’s interested in to join the fediverse so we can have a common platform to share things with eachother?
If you want what facebook has, just use facebook. No snark intended. Anyhow, in my view the fedipact gets us all what we want anyhow.
With the fedipact in mind, we end up with a big chunk of fediverse who are at a minimum like minded enough that they recognize and reject the influence of Meta and others like them, and another big chunk of fediverse where folks don’t really mind everything that sort of influence brings, and can wallow in it all they like.
To me everyone gets what they want.
