threads is centralized
If it federates with ActivityPub, it won't be.
is have all users on one instance
The Threads software will still be centralized, but the network won't be. It's a bit like saying outlook.com email is centralized.
It's big, and that's absolutely a threat from an embrace/extend/extinguish perspective. A big node on a decentralized network is still part of a decentralized network unless they start breaking the decentralization.
big node is still centralized
And the sky is still blue? Who cares?
point of fediverse is decentralization ._.
All individual nodes are centralized. One of those nodes being big doesn't mean the entire system becomes "centralized."
Email is decentralized despite Gmail having the major market share by far.
is contribute to centralization of whole network
