    Step 1: Threads starts federating with mastodon

    Step 2: mastodon users happily engage with threads, letting it become the biggest fediverse instance

    Step 3: threads stops federating with mastodon

    Step 4: mastodon users switch over to threads where all conversation is happening, leaving the fediverse deserted

      More than 5 million people signed up within hours, let’s assume they will have 30 million users by the end of the month. I’m sure there are Mastodon users will consider switching to Threads.

      And not to mention the Threads app is a privacy nightmare. I’m sure they can figure out any fediverse user, If fediverse server remains federated with meta server.

      But Mastodon has less users than Threads already, if someone wanted to jump ship for more conversation wouldn’t they do it already? Heck, wouldn’t they have stayed on twitter?
