Really good take. If federation happens (and I actually don’t really think it will), the impact will be pretty minimal.

Worst case scenario: their sheer scale means they can swamp fediverse with their spam, in which case we defederate and get back to living the good life.

Best case scenario: it enables us to follow them, and them to follow us, and it just helps things grow.

I reckon the best approach is a wait-and-see. Threads already looks pretty goofy, and I’m not sure it will have the same legs fediverse does.
