My response is a good faith attempt to talk about the possibility of them expanding in a realistic and likely direction. Your response is entirely bad faith. My title is about as boring as could be, not clickbait and hypotheticals don't need to be based in reality. Threads has also federated in(as in its in the instance whitelist), and my hypothetical was the part where they properly federate into lemmy, you are wrong on all account and are acting like a bot.
I’ll be honest, I’ll assume bad faith from Meta until proven otherwise.
A good example here is the first version of Google chat, which federated with jabber - until it didn’t. I was quite vocal about converting my friends to it because it was an easy entrance to jabber, with a brand and interface they trusted.
Then once it was big enough, jabber federation was cut off and we looked like the weird outsiders.
Federating Meta will feel like a win right up until it doesn’t.
